Testimonials For Lorri Penner, BSW, RSW
This program is amazing and I would highly recommend it for any type of grief and loss. The faciliators were genuine in showing our group members kindness and compassion. I went to the group for one reason and ended up working on something totally different. I found the group to be so beneficial as I learned so much about grief and loss, forgiveness, and how we can better navigate this process. Thank you for providing this very helpful group!!

My doctor referred me to Lorri because of ongoing sadness that wasn't responding to any treatments; including medication and therapy. Initially I felt like this was just one more thing that wasn't going to work. Lorri was so empathetic and caring and guided me on a journey where I felt supported each step as I examined my life and losses.I feel like I now have my life back and am looking forward to doing this work with other losses in my life. Thank you!

The GRM gave me a whole new way to approach grief. There are so many losses that someone can go through in their lives and I feel we were never properly educated or taught how to deal with these types of things. This program showed me many things I and many others have been doing wrong all these years, and even better a way to deal with them properly so they don't keep recurring and preventing forward movement and progress into feeling more complete in the future. I have already recommended this program and book to friends and family and just finished the course a week or so ago!!

This program has helped me with my recent loss, my wife, and it will also help me with past and future losses of any kind. The Relationship graph and the Completion Letter will certainly make a huge difference. Thank You

The program has worked very well for me. I used the program guidelines to deal with the deaths of two family members several years in the past. The program allowed me to release a lot of the pain around these deaths and to embrace some good memories from the past which, up until then, I hadn't been able to access.

When I went to the info session I went to support my friend mostly. After listening to all the information, I realized how much this could benefit me as well. It is definitely heart work, which is the term our facilitator told us the very first night. The program has helped me so much in how I deal with others now that my own reaction can sometimes shock me. What a great new outlook on life. I am definitely more free.

The program helped to contain my grief in a format that I found easier to process than working through it on my own. I felt scattered in my own efforts; I felt much more focused while in the support group.
