Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
As a Hospice Chaplain it took me back to my trainning in CPE, Clinical Pastoral Education. The group process was both challenging and enjoyable. For myself, it is a wonderful way to learn, being present with one another. Being in this group, one couls sense the carying traits of the group members. Lois had the right touch of knowing when to speak and when to let us speak. Enjoyable experience.

I have been working in the capacity to help others through grief for many years and that knowledge stunted my own ability to grieve. This program finally gave me permission to let my heart bleed in order to begin healing. I want to share it with EVERYONE!!

The GRM training was the most intensive and beneficial training I have ever attended. I was not only educated on the grief and recovery process, I found my own grief completion (after grieving over the loss of my husband the past 6 months). In addition, I met some wonderful people at the training, that I was able to connect with from around the country, and they are now a part of my network. It was an awesome experience and it has given me the confidence and tools to become a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist in my community.

The Grief Recovery training program was delivered in an easy to digest format that will help me educate grievers in reducing the sense of isolation. Our instructor (Bobbie Rill) presentations of this material exceeded my goals and all the trainees were very committed. Bobbie has an engaging style that allows her to present sensitive information in a way that is educational, informative, and with a touch of humor. The support The Grief Recovery Institute provides is unlimited!

I read THE GRIEF RECOVERY METHOD HANDBOOK twice, completed the exercises and applied what I learned to my own situation before registering for the training. I was so appreciative for the help and impressed with how simple the methodology is and how well it works, I wanted to share it with others. Upon completion of the training and with the many resources available on the website, I feel well equipped to help others in either a group or one-on-one setting.

Not only did I feel that the training help me complete unresolved relationship, I gained strong relationships with people that I can have as peer mentors and confidants in the future as we start groups in our own communities. I look forward to walking individuals through their grief with hope and completeness on the other side.

My husband and I lost our newly adopted daughter and his dad in a few months time. It sent us both spiraling down to a place that unburied unresolved grief. Someone I barely knew suggested the grief and loss recovery program with Bobbie Rill. I said "I don't have any loss"....... I contacted Bobbie and through working with her and the GRM my whole life is starting to make sense and have a clear direction and purpose that ehas enabled me to finally see God more clearly. My life is forever changed. I don't dread my next 30 years anymore. I can see.

This experience ended up being more meaningful than I anticipated. I knew it would be great. I could just feel it but it went over and beyond. I was able to reach something deep in my heart that I truly don't believe I ever would have without this training. I am so grateful. I have shared my experience with a few people and two have already expressed the desire to take the training.

I can't say enough about how the Grief Recovery Method has helped me personally deal with my own losses. Through the training, I have gained tools that I can use to to not only help myself deal with future losses, but also help others find emotional completeness in dealing with losses of any kind. What a wonderful program! Thank you so very much!

The experience of the GRM certification was once in a life time experience; working with a group of strangers that soon became friends and people offering love, support and open heart, ears and mind. Helping each other to complete our own grieves. I loved the experience and Laura Jacks did an amazing job as the facilitator. Thank you Grief Recovery Institute for your work of 40 years!

I attended the course in Huntingdon delivered by Phyl, who was brilliant. It certainly challenged me with my own grief and has confirmed my desire to help others with this program.

For anyone who is thinking about attending this training but is a little apprehensive, then please don't be. It is amazing. My experience was really positive, and already it has made a difference in my life.

The Grief Recovery Method is a unique combination of an invigorating 'retreat' for personal growth and a very valuable, training seminar. Thank you Phyl at GRM for sharing a new pathway to help to heal the world. My best wishes, Judith (Huntingdon, Feb; 2017)

I am absolutely staggered by the change in myself since doing the Grief Recovery Method Training. My group were all such wonderful people and people who I would call friends for life. Phyl Edmonds is an inspiration to do what she does and she does it incredibly well. Thank you all. I already have my first client and I cannot wait to give her the tools to change her life. Thank you GRUK

About a year ago, my brother-in-law died in a car accident. I've experienced the loss of loved ones when I was younger, but as an adult, the experience is different, especially as I knew the concept of grief. Since my brother-in-law's death, I was drawn to grief/loss counseling, which I eventually started running the grief/loss support group at my work. However, I knew that I was still lacking the tools to help my clients. I was right there with them in the grief process, but I did not how to move beyond that... until a co-worker handed me the Grief Recovery Handbook. I read the first few chapters and immediately felt enlightened. I saw on the back of the book that there were opportunities for training. When I saw that there was one coming up right before my brother-in-law's first year anniversary, I felt a calling to take it, and so I did. Now having gone through the process myself and becoming trained, it has not just provided me the tools to help grievers, but it also gave me a whole new perspective on life. It is one thing to talk and share about our pain, but it is another to have the tools to move beyond the pain. What I love most about this program is that it's applicable to so many other parts of our lives where we feel stunted in growth. Thank you for this opportunity to not only grow as a griever or therapist, but also as a person!
