Testimonials For Lois Hall, MS
I took all the classes in GRM, and then I was encouraged to take the training by my co-worker Rex Cearley. I am so glad I did; that changed my perspective of seeing people dealing with loss and pain and gave me the tool to guide them to get out of suffering and find that the way we handled loss in the past has left a print in our present and future and is the way we manage our loss. I don't watch movies the same way. I have more compassion for the character dealing with loss and know about grief recovery; God creates us with one heart and two ears.

Very helpful in dealing with regret. Helpful to make the relationship graph and to make statements that are focused on growth but also healing.

The program has given me tools to cope with grief that come from un-met expectations, whether the areas get better or remain the same. I've learned how to give voice to my feelings and know my truth matters. I'm committed to taking better care of myself and my emotions, without being overtaken by my emotions. If by chance an emotion overtakes me, and I now quickly revisit tools and releasing the weight from my backup of unmet expectations!

The program helped me discover what was really bothering me for most of my life after the death of my wife. I discovered from reading the book and completing the loss graph, the majority of the grief I was carrying around from the way I was treated by my father in childhood. I first did the relationship graph and completion on my father. I felt a huge relief after that. Then I had a chance to do a relationship graph and completion letter to my wife. With that , I have felt better than I have since she died. I used to have to force myself to do things. Now I feel like I have started another chapter in my life. I have closure. A burden is off my shoulders.

Lois is a GRM master! She leads with her heart and her knowledge base is evident by stories and examples that demonstrate deep life wisdom. I love the way she creates an emotional space for all to be heard and believed with respect. She brings her life experiences that enrich the learning and add relevant meaning. Her vulnerability in sharing her own stories, emotions, and on-going learning helps set the pace for others. I have high standards for facilitators, and Lois rose the bar even higher - thank you. I have made life long friends with bonds of similar experience(s). I'm honored to be part of the Grief Recovery Method Specialist.

I highly recommend Grief Recovery Method as a course for men , women, and young adults and anyone who works with people. We all have and will experience loss and deserve a tried and true program to help to recover from them.

GRM Specialist training from Lois was both personally helpful and professionally executed. I cannot imagine a more thorough introduction to the program. Lois’s passion and commitment to the principles and method were both inspiring and uniting for all of us. We all grieve. We all were supported in our grief to learn for ourselves. She then introduced skills and knowledge equipping us to help others. Very grateful! Thank you Lois.

The GRM Certification training is one not only to help you begin the healing process of grief, but teaches you compassion and how to identify and recognize the hurt that others may be experiencing. It allows you to listen not only with your ears, but with your heart.

Each week of the program provided new skills and support for recovery. The facilitators modeled each assignment and because they generously shared their journey with the class, participants were comfortable sharing their own truth. At the beginning of each week we were reminded of the boundaries to maintain trust and respect one another.

Worked on a relationship that ended over 15 years ago, but it is always the one that comes to mind when I think about loss of friendship. I am now hopeful that after completing this process I will not experience such pain and turmoil when old memories surface, because I have the resources to deal with them.

This training was absolutely wonderful and Lois was phenomenal! There is so much that I could say about the grief recovery method training but what I will say is that I walked away from this training very confident and educated. Thank you for helping me to unpack my own grief so that I may now help those who reside in my community.
