As I said previously, this program was very helpful for me. I was not sure what I was getting into when I started, and didn't think I needed "grief recovery," but little did I know it was so helpful for me since I had relationship issues with my mother, and I always just accepted them as the way it was. But working through the program made me think of the more positive times I had with my mom, and that turned out to be a precious part of the program for me, since so often the negative stuff outweighs the positive. But in the end I was able to truly feel "complete" with her, and that was so very helpful to my soul.

I took the class because, after 18 months past my divorce, I am still feeling fearful and full of pain. I tended to get surges of dull unidentifiable pain. I am very thought driven so needed to understand the situation, while in my head, I knew I was doing right, my emotions still bubbled up on me. The reason I embraced this method was that very fact. I was able to make lists of facts & then go back and look at how they made me feel and then finally deal with the underlying feelings I was not aware of or could not quite access. Then I was able to say good bye. The weight on my soul is lightened. I am free of the ghost of my ex-husband in condemnation of me. I am now the victor of my own life - no one else's.

It helped me to see how much anger and unforgiveness I was holding on to with my mother. I was able to face into just how lopsided my view of her was and I was able to come to terms with my own failures in our relationship and to forgive her and say goodbye to a toxic attitude I carried for most of my adult life. I used to see her as evil and overlooked the good times in our relationship and I saw how my own failures reminded me that just like me my mother was a broken person and the only way to say goodbye to the things holding me back was to look at the overall relationship in the light of truth.
