Testimonials For Filomena Mazzone
I started to work on the death of my husband but then transitioned to the death of my mother which I never resolved. Filly Mazzone helped me work through all those details regarding my mothers death and I finished right before Mothers Day and it was a more peaceful mothers day for me. I was finally able to say good bye to her. Now we will continue to work on the death of my husband.

It was very important for me to talk about the loss of my 19 year old daughter and process my feelings of despair. The Grief Recovery Method helped me to release my feelings in a way that was comfortable for me.

The grief recovery program leaves no stone unturned in discussing not only types of grief and loss but a multitude of feelings and situations arising from grief and loss, changing and e landing ones outlook on the experience of grief and loss. It was and will continue to be a very helpful experience.

Better than I could have expected. The material is excellent, understandable, informative but most of all enlightening. Working one on one online with Filly was perfect. Initially finding someone in my area was a bit daunting, but Lois made several well thought out suggestions. I spoke with three specialists and they were all so accommodating and genuine. Never felt like a hard sell or any pressure. This made all the difference because there was so much anxiety in selecting whether to travel to a weekend event, drive to an in person place (some distance away) or go online. Making the choice for Filly (online) was perfect. I want to emphasize how well it all flowed. I followed the advice not to jump ahead, so it was months before I got past chapter 6. Filly, someone to share with, confide in and learn from was the key. Of course, you all know that sharing and being HEARD is the "magic". Filly is so smart, so professional, yet warm and genuine. This honest, real, boldly caring and unapologetically loving lady made the program real, practical, useful and meaningful. I learned I was too hard on myself, even after reading the beginning chapters and realizing how ill-equipped I was to deal with my Dad's sudden death and all the changes in our lives. I felt I mattered and wasn't crazy. The emphasis on the change and the loss opened my eyes. The work that had to be done was hard, but having Filly made it do-able and productive. I learned skills that I know I will use again and again. I have a USEFUL understanding of forgiveness now. I see the need to complete each loss and understand the numbness and the pain can be put behind by completing it, not ignoring or burying it. I am better equipped and ready to be more "in the moment" and move into having "feeling" (joy, appreciation, contentment, compassion) in my life again. There is work still to be done, but I am ready and I have help and support when I need it. I truly wish more people would do this. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
