Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
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.

I've suffered from loss my entire life. I've lived with the pain that associated with all of that loss and for the first time ever now feel completely equipped to not only complete my loss with my relationships but equally equipped to help others experience the same kind of completion around their losses. Thanks GRM, you've made a huge difference in my life and as a result the ripple effect will affect and assist many others in a very positive way.

I learned a lot about grief and recovery. The myths and methods for recovery were very helpful and will enhance my work with survivors.

I am astounded by the depth that I and others in my group went to over this 4 day training. I have new tools that I feel are critical to my own recovery from loss. I am thrilled that I am being offered new possibilities to also help others heal authentically. I am so grateful! Thank You!

The experience of the certification training is both healing and tranformative. Taking the journey into the heart of your pain and being in a safe space to bring it to the surface where raw emotion can be expressed in a safe supportive environment and actually complete your loss is invaluable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Grief Recovery institute!

the instructor was very sensitive to my vision impairment and treated me with respect an no different than the sighted people in the group. this demonstrated her compassion as a person and I greatly appreciated her. Bobbie is an excellent representative of the compassion and understanding needed to be a Grief Recovery Specialist. it was my pleasure to meet her and be under her teaching.

The grief recovery process works as participants are encouraged to work on their unresolved issues of grief and loss in a safe environment. How liberating that was? Thanks to our trainer, Bobbie Rill for the positive experience.

It was a real eye opener for me. I thought I knew a lot about grief when in reality I did not have the slightest clue. I am not confident and enriched with tremendous knowledge that I can now share with others, thanks to this training.

The seminar was absolutely amazing! Lois was our instructor and she was excellent at teaching the concepts and making sure we fully understood what we were learning. She was well-organized, patient and engaging. The four days went so fast and by the end of the training none of us wanted to leave. We had dealt bonded and that made learning about grief easy and comfortable. I highly recommend this training.

This was an amazingly fulfilling experience. Life long bonds were formed with the participants and Susan and Cole were masterful in their delivery of the material. Felt very honored and humbled to be a part of this four day training experience.

My mother passed away when I was six, my father, when I was sixteen. I spent 40+ years living in a hurt/loss I could never explain, and I saw familiar patterns in all my relationships (close but not too close) just in case I had to live my life without them. The Grief Recovery Method help me discover what grief looks like for me, and I realized I spent most of my life trying to feel okay, even though I was in a lot of pain. I had the opportunity to attend the specialist training and it was amazing! I’m so excited that I now have the opportunity to help others, just like me, who walked around in a pain/loss not knowing there is actual hope and a way out. Julie Dennis
