I am THRILLED with my experience with this training! I already know that completing losses is powerful and life changing, but having the ability to help those in my community that need it is so relieving. I no longer feel powerless when I see others suffer. I have something to offer them. The human connection and empathy that one gains from doing this training is amazing. It really does have the power to change the world for the better.

I lost my beautiful son, he was 31. For four years I was devastated and living with a broken heart. Initially I was unable to function but gradually I forced myself to put on a face and get back to work. I even acted like I was ok with my children, but it was all an academy award winning performance. Each moment of the day I carried my misery and broken heart through all my activities. I frequently stated that I was just waiting to die. One night I had a fight with a girl at work. We reconciled, but it was then that I realized that my act was no longer working for me. Nothing was working anymore. I'd come to the absolute end of pretending to be ok. When I got home I typed the word grief in my search bar and found the grief recovery method. I was intrigued. Because the founder had lost his son, I decided to give it a go. I made the call, and soon after started a one on one process with Agnes K. By the end of our third session I noticed a very dramatic change. For the first time in four years I experienced peace! I could smile! I heard myself laughing! To me these things were monumental. Then just before I'd completed my lessons I could feel that my broken heart had healed. I had never even dreamed that such a thing could happen. There's no way you can bury your child without living with a broken heart for the rest of your life. And yet as a result of this process I'm happy, I have peace, I feel joy and my heart is full.

"After completing the Grief Recovery Method, I've found a sense of peace and understanding that I never thought possible. The overwhelming weight of sorrow that once consumed my every waking moment has been replaced with a newfound clarity and acceptance. I've learned to navigate through my grief, rather than letting it control me, and have been gifted with tools to continue healing as life unfolds. While the memories of my loved ones will forever be cherished, I'm now able to celebrate their life without being paralyzed by the pain of their absence. This method truly offers a transformative journey for those ready to embark on it."

I am a recent widow who decided to help others on their way through the fog of grief. The Grief Recovery Method will be a wonderful way for me to help others find their way. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful and she made it easy to want to continue on to help others.

I knew that after I experienced my first GRM individual program to work on my grief after the loss of my 9 year old daughter that this was something I wanted to do. The best part about the training is that they not only teach you the concepts of how to guide people through the method, run the classes, market yourself and get running, but you as a specialist get to experience the method yourself. I had the opportunity to experience once before, but others on the training had not. I was able to watch their lives transform over the course of the training and a be a part of the success of another person by participating in the the training. This helped to solidify my desire to go and help others with their grief as well. The training is comprehensive, our trainer Gwen Russo was such a caring and capable specialist and I could feel her compassion for us all. The onboarding call was so valuable to help me plan to get my practice up and running, and the resources in the back office is impressive. Such a great training experience and value we get with the program.

I met someone the first night we completed the program who found out I had attended the program and they attempted to speak to me in the restaurant. I'm gathering their contact information for the pilot group.
