I was overwhelmed by my grief and was having difficulty functioning daily tasks. A friend recommended GRM and Kristy. Working with Kristy provided much needed insight into allowing me to start the healing process with various techniques that actually worked! Kristy was not only empathetic but professional making me feel safe to be heard while exploring my grief in a healthy manner! I would highly recommend this program and Kristy!!

I came in to this program with an open mind with the willingness to be vulnerable so I could heal. I thought my current grief was the area I wanted to observe and heal and yet I went back 40+ years and got closure with my first husband. I was diligent with the reading and homework assignments and I believe I will return and meet with Kristy to walk me through the loss of my mother, almost 7 years ago. I trust Kristy and the tools I now have in my backpack will help into the future.

After my father died, I realized I needed new skills and tools to address my grief. The Grief Recovery Method program as well designed, each week built upon the previous lessons. It was a privilege to work with my facilitator Kristy Anderson who is exceptional. Kristy's commitment to creating a safe, confidential and honest environment allowed me to relax and focus on the assignment and learning the new skills and tools presented in the program. It is rare, in life, to be truly listened to, Kristy has a gift she gave me her full attention and presence. I am grateful for her willingness to share her expertise and support me through being complete with a relationship that was so dear to me. I will highly recommend the program and working with Kristy.

One-on-one facilitation by Kristy of the grief recovery method was a transformative experience. The book outlines the process well and I suppose that I might have completed this on my own. However, having an empathetic soul to check in with each week who could guide me, hear me, validate my feelings, clarify my statements, encourage my efforts and ultimately walk this difficult path with me was enormously helpful. I likely would have postponed completing the process, to my own detriment, without her support. Thank you for your kindness and insight!

As months passed since my first GRM experience, I felt genuine peace! It was time to embark again. I remember Kristy saying to me, “ I am here whenever you are ready.” Her strong and sensitive heart coupled with her mastery of GRM gave me the strength to press in with the next loss. As an Alumni, I knew what was ahead. I could trust the process & most of all - the intensity and difficulty of this loss would be respected and gently guided to completion with Kristy as my fervent, kind, knowledgeable & patient guide. Yes, it felt so so right to be in good hands and to finally face a very difficult relationship that I struggled with my entire life!

The Grief Recovery Method provided direct support and a safe space to begin the process of healing. This practical approach kept me engaged and grounded while the one on one heart centered support Kristy provided kept me motivated to complete each exercise. The GRM and Kristy are a blessing I will be forever grateful for.

I cannot say enough great things about this program and Kristy. Kristy is amazing and has a very real passion for this work. She was an incredible guide during my journey through grief loss recovery and I am so glad I had her to steer me through this process. She is professional, gentle, compassionate, understanding, and I can’t imagine having completed this program without her.

I came to The Grief Recovery Program more interested in learning about the program than in dealing with a particular loss I have had. I have had much loss in my life. Family members, dear friends, jobs, a way of life, dear pets that were like children and many other losses. I have always confronted loss in a truthful way. In a very real way I have owned my truth in dealing with loss. I have always had, and still do, an ongoing relationship with those people and things that I have lost. Conversations with loved ones who have passed have kept me close with them. That being said, I never thought of this program to deal with loved ones that are still alive. This is exactly where the program took me and exactly what I needed. Kristy and I shortly found out during the program that my relationships with those I've lost was pretty healthy. What she helped me to see, was I needed a bit of work with the relationship with my mom. I love my mom! She is an amazing woman and she has spent her life taking care of others. Through The Grief Recovery Program I realized that my relationship was strained for me. I would think to myself, "I love my mom, BUT". I never knew what those feelings were or meant. Now because of TGRP and my amazing facilitator Kristy, I no longer feel the heaviness of the "BUT". I feel lighter and know my relationship can only become stronger. Kristy is amazing! She helped me to speak my truth, which at times, was extremely difficult. I knew I could trust her with everything I was feeling and saying. She gave me a safe environment to feel all of the feels without feeling like I was being judged. By the end of the program I felt and feel lighter, freer and stronger. Kristy is compassionate, caring, very knowledgeable and someone I feel I will always trust as my facilitator. This program was not easy, but I would recommend it to anyone that has feelings of loss. It gives you the chance to say what you need to say. It heals your soul. I completely recommend Kristy Anderson as a facilitator and will always consider her a friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kristy!!! I no longer feel the "BUT" and can love my mom for just being my mom!

I chose a very intense, complicated, deeply painful, often daily wrought over loss to complete - that being the death of my father. I must say the tools in the TGRM were easy to learn in concept and were broken down perfectly in terms of emotional difficulty. Though I really struggled with and majorly dreaded reading my Completion Letter aloud - it was the very thing most critical to the completion of my cycle of sadness and longing. I have found in life that sometimes the hardest things - the things we most dread are so necessary for progress and growth (ugh!! - lol) For me, this process allowed me to systematically step through a tangled, wrought over, guilt ridden, scary bunch of emotions surrounding my relationship with my Dad and the sudden loss of him experienced in my home over 20 years ago. Being one week after of the last session, I feel lighter - I am thinking clearer and I am not as intensely sad as I had for so long...I AM SO THANKFUL!! I so agree, what you put into it, you will get out of it...The process works! Yes, it is hard, but I encourage you to give yourself the time and space to go deep and say all that needs to be said. As important and effective as the method, was the facilitator that guided me through the process - Kristy Anderson. Kristy has been someone who chose to step into my world of grief. Though others were put-off by my "years of deep sadness" and seemingly closed off stance - she chose to befriend me. She has a heart of empathy like no one I know and choses to love, care for and help those who are hurting and broken hearted. It was no surprise to me when she pursued becoming a facilitator for TGRM. I consider myself blessed to have been her pilot student. I chose a very intense and deeply painful loss to complete. I knew I could trust her and that I could see it through to completion with her love and guidance. Kristy is caring, deeply compassionate, trustworthy, knowledgeable and genuine. I believe she is meant for this and will offer many the opportunity to process, heal and emerge stronger. I am honored to call her my friend!

It helped me understand loss and grief, the tools to use, and how to say goodbye to my loved ones.
