1 hour after finishing training I found myself starting the hospice process for my focus relationship from the weekend. Gwen and my group were an integral part of how I showed up for my kids, my husband and at the hospital yesterday. Talk about a plot twist of my story because I would not have the clarity or grace in dealing with well-meaning people without the tools and information I now have through GRM. It felt like taking a sip from a fire hydrant but it was necessary for me because of the timing and I am so grateful.

Grief Recovery Method Certification training was very thorough and powerful! I learned so much in such a short amount of time, it really blew my mind! Our instructor, Gwen Russo, was unbelievable knowledgeable and relatable. Her wisdom and experience working with grievers made the material even more relevant and powerful. I cannot wait to begin to use the things that I have learned during Grief Recovery Method Specialist Certifcation!

As no different from anyone else, I have suffered a few losses throughout my life. Not necessarily deaths of loved one, but some life altering and rather significant losses, many at a younger and vulnerable age. For most of my adult life, I have tried to overcome feelings of unhappiness, sorrow, hopelessness, etc. I have tried traditional therapy, medication, etc. All I achieved was a greater ability to express my sorrow, but no tools on how to properly deal with it let alone get thru it. And then I met Gwen. OH MY GOD. Talk about life altering. I did the 12 week program. I have begun to feel peaceful, less anxious, hopeful. I have stopped medications I was taking, I have taken notice of the things I have been doing that were unhealthy for me and have made significant changes to alter or stop them altogether. I continue to work with Gwen as I still need her guidance at times as I do not want to sway off this new found path. For the first time in a very long time I am excited about the journey ahead. This sense of calm, of hope, of humility have finally cracked thru and I refuse to let them disappear. In such a short time this simple program has CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. People around me notice this subtle change in me. I hear the comments they make, and they are good. This program isn't only used to recover from a death. This program is so valuable in showing people how to recover from loss. Loss happens to us constantly and we have never, ever, been shown the healthy way to process loss. This program and specifically Gwen has done and will continue to do that for me. If I could shout about this from rooftops I would, that's how much this has impacted me. My wish would be that everyone take part of this program. The world would be such a nicer, better, happier place to be in. From the bottom of my heart and the top of my soul, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

The Grief Recovery Method Training is a life changing program. The best training I have been apart of in my 23 years of attending professional development courses. The method is the missing piece to traditional therapy/counseling.
