Testimonials For David Cain
With David having a very recent loss, his ability to understand and guide us through the course was exceptional. Although not something that is a prerequisite for the facilitator to have to "lead by example", his own personal experience was quite helpful when I had questions.

I was able to trust David very early into the process. He was patient and empathic. The examples he gave helped me to figure out how to get the most out of the program. i was able to relax, feel, and really dig deeper than i thought i would (or needed to do to complete my grief). I feel strong enough and have enough tools to move through the other losses i need to complete. I reached out to David during the process when I felt overwhelmed or stuck. He truly had my back. i feel the universe sent me a program and person to help me.

This program gave me some good tools. The book was great to have so that I could go back and re read sections. It helped validate a lot of the emotions and feelings I have been and still do experience. It has given me tools to try to help my family as well.

Before the program, I suffered 17 months of not being able to move forward from deep anger, hurt & resentment as well as grief following the death of my husband of 55 years. I now have truly let go of those negative feelings & have even been able to forgive & to so say good-bye with love ..... a huge step. I know that there will always be periods of grief & remembrance but I think the tools I now have will help me to focus on the happy memories.

I am able to feel my feelings, and also express them better, knowing that I can recognize where they come from and why. I feel more comfortable listening to others who are sharing their own feelings, and I know how to be present without saying anything. I look at my life with my departed family member and am able to focus on all the beautiful parts of it, having forgiven, and apologized for instances I used to dwell negatively on. I have already begun to look at other relationships in my life with the same "format" and I am hopeful I will have success with those losses when I do the program again and again. Thank you

Program helped me to feel ‘complete’ with particular aspects of grieving over time.Universality of grief and being able to know it is a process that others deal with is helpful and well as the trust aspect that develop with participants.

The program helped me identify the source of some complicated emotions I'd been experiencing toward my family member. Working through painful memories and completing unresolved communications has allowed me to forgive her and find compassion for both of us. I'm certain this will strengthen our relationship and bring us closer together.

David was an excellent facilitator. He provided a empathetic non judgemental space to learn and share. He was very knowledgeable and was available for any questions or concerns. I developed some tools to help moving forward in my life in dealing with grief as well as grief from the past. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this workshop. Teresa
