Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
This training was phenomenal!! I learned so much in this training that helped me personally, but also learned from this so I can help others work through their grief experiences! Very good information throughout the training and it helped me learn the common misconceptions we have about grief. Amazing training and definitely worth the money to attend!

Being a funeral director coming onto this, I learned I had no idea what grief was in fact was and how I could use Grief Recovery Method to connect to my families more and become a better funeral director. All at the same time as using this method to make me feel better in life.

This is the real deal! I feel much more confident in working with grievers since this training, and I’m a bereavement team member with my agency! This should be required training for anyone working directly with those grieving. Can’t sing any more praises, it’s just amazing!

Wish I had done this sooner! I thought I was going to attend just another CEU course; however, I experienced the life-changing Grief Recovery Method and came away with healing in two significant losses of my own. Four days with never a moment wasted or even losing attention! By far this training is well worth the investment and I look forward to utilizing it in my work as a hospice chaplain to walk our patients and families through the healing process!

I walked away from this training not only with an inspired direction for how I’d like to develop my practice and help people... but with an unexpected completion of my own personal loss. My expectations were exceeded in every way possible. Thank you!

My training experience was phenomenal...life changing. I met the most beautiful, wonderful, and courageous human beings and was taught how to heal and move forward from my past hurts. My heart feels more free and I am looking forward to living my life happier and teaching others how to do the same.

The Grief Recovery Method training is in-depth, well organized and very clearly presented. I walked away having made some dear friends, and feeling well equipped to bring this valuable work to my clients. Included in the training, was in-depth work on our own grief which led to new insights and deep healing.

This was one of the most empowering pieces of training I have ever taken. Lois, the facilitator created a safe and loving space for our many heavy and heartfelt moments. I came away feeling ready and excited to go out into the world to help others move through their grief. I hope for the future that our world will be filled with more grief recovery specialists helping to mend many broken hearts.

The GRM specialist training was a significant experience for my own self care and healing. I appreciated the thorough and caring atmosphere our instructor created. Because of the training, I feel confident that I will be able to lead a group or individual through the method/steps towards feeling better in their grief.

Having participated in grief support groups myself this past year, this training was so helpful and eye opening! I have a completely new perspective on grief and loss.

Coming into the training, I had no idea what it was. All I wanted to do was help people. I had been told in the past that I was a great listener and that people felt safe sharing their feelings with me. I signed up knowing that I would come out knowing skills that could help others. I was only half right! I came out of this weekend a changed woman! I’m looking at relationships in a different way! I’m looking at people in a different way! I understand that people are hurting and the things they do stem from that. It helps me have much more compassion on everyone I see or interact with. I’m grateful that I have the ability and tools to help other people find this life changing method, and I’m so excited to see what happens next! On a side note, though still extremely important, my training group was privileged to meet John and spend time with him. It was an honor to be able to listen to him, ask him questions, to have a picture with him, and to be able to give him a hug. It was an experience I will never forget! What an incredible heart John has. Thank you all for everything!

I cam to this training with a huge dose of skepticism. I truly expected a sales job on something that would not work. I was asked to trust the process and I did my best to do so. I left on Monday being fully convinced that the "process" does work and I am excited about the opportunity to present this to people in the days to come.

I loved the program. I an diagnosed with PTSD due to MST (military sexual trauma). This was the first program I felt complete with my grief/losses due to PTSD. This program gave me hope again.

I originally came to this class with the idea to support and better understand my wife who is currently a specialist. I left with a new found respect on the method and a passion to not only apply what I learned to my own life, but to share and educate others.

I have been through the 8-week group session already. I love telling people about the benefit of this method! After finishing the certification training I feel fully equipped to help others, who have experienced any type of loss, to complete their relationships.

I really wasn't sure what to expect from the grief recovery specialist certification training, and in some ways I was dreading the weekend a little. But from the moment I walked in the room I was so comfortable with what took place, even though I was "out of my comfort zone" through many personal exercises. Our trainer was amazing, and did an exceptional job at helping us work through all the exercises. I really wondered why my buddy was chosen for me, but by the end of the weekend I knew it had been the perfect fit. I walked into a room of 15 strangers, and left with 15 new friends. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to have some relevant, practical tools for dealing with grief.

I am very satisfied with the GRM training program. It definitely went beyond my expectations. Ed Owens is a wonderful trainer. I have all the tools to help my clients deal with their loss. I highly recommend the training.

The Grief Recovery Method truly works! The training itself takes you through the recovery process. What better way to learn how you can implement this Method for others than to go through it yourself?! It is transformational and I would recommend it to everyone.
