Testimonials For Cindy Cook
Support Groups03/21/2019Participant in Vancouver, Washington
My youngest son, 46 yrs old, committed suicide in my home. The loss was the deepest experience of death I have ever experienced. My husband died a few years ago from cancer. Going thru the dying process with him was so different, as I was expecting his death. I was not expecting the sudden death of my son. I was lost, in deep, deep emotional pain. I was willing to go to any length to get thru the pain. I did support groups, one on one counseling, and GRM. GRM was so strong in taking me thru the steps to work thru that pain. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I needed to face the feelings and do the (emotional) work so I could find peace in my life. Peace is what I found. I am so very, very grateful to GRM program. A few words re: our facilitator; Cindy Cook. Cindy was patient; totally supportive to each of us; if one of us had a particularly rough, painful week, Cindy was there for us. She was absolutely amazing!!!!! To get to begin to have some-type of normal life is such a gift. To get to pass on by going back to my volunteer work is a true miracle. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

Before going through GRM, I never realized how many losses in my history have been contributing to how I navigate in my life today. I didn't realize the pain I was concealing about my parent who relapsed in their sobriety and let their health take a dramatic decline. The facilitator helped reassure me that I was ready to take on this massive task of healing my relationship with one of my favorite living people - my dad. After GRM, I saw my dad, and it was in a completely different light. I hugged my dad with more love than I was able to give before. I accepted him for exactly who he is and where he is at today, rather than longing for him to do better or wishing he hadn't made the choices he had. The only longing I was left with was the longing to know who he is today and how our relationship can be more. I am living proof that GRM can health existing relationships and make for stronger relationships now, so we can live with the greatest amount of possible love, and the least amount of possible regret.

This program has completely shifted the way I view my relationship with grief and loss. It has opened my mind and heart to the deeper possibilities in healing from tragedy and loss of relationships. This program was simply a game changer in my grieving process, and I see so many ways it can be applied to my life now that I have the skills to use the action based pieces. I recommend this program frequently to anyone who has suffered a loss, and cannot say enough wonderful things about it. I am extremely grateful that the bereavement center in my city has offered this class at such a reasonable cost, and I wish it was more widely available to those who may have financial limitations.

I felt numb going into class/ and thought I was doing fine with the loss but after several classes i discovered grief that i was ignoring I opened up with help of a facilitator and discovered feelings i had buried, My personal grief is not over just in a different stage. Taking GRM class was very benenficial to me and would highly reccomend program to others
