Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
I just completed The Grief Recovery Specialist Certification Training in Pittsburgh, PA. I loved working and training in a group setting. While we learned we also worked on past losses that we experienced in life. Through this experience and training we really came to appreciate the beauty of each person in the group and understanding the gift of how this really works in recovering your happiness after the pain of loss. Grief recovery is healing hearts that have been broken from loss. I really look forward to working with and helping others in the future with this certification.

This program helped me tremendously! I am a 56-year-old woman who had some trauma as a child. And I have kept it ALL hidden inside for all of these years. I was affected by these unresolved communications--in my behaviors, my relationships, and the way that I communicated with others. And lastly, I was angry! During the GRM training, I was able to open up, share, and put hose negative feelings from the trauma to rest. I found closure, and completion. I felt FREE! So, the process, and the techniques work--if you want it to work, and if you want help. And I did. So, thank you for the opportunity and the great experience. I plan to share this with others, and apply it.

The Grief Recovery Method Training was great! I learned a wealth of information that I can use in my everyday life, as well as in times of grief. I feel very prepared. Lois Hall has such a vibrance about her that makes her an amazing trainer. She is so knowledgeable and patient. I had a great experience and I can't wait to use the materials to begin my first group!

The grief recovery method training was intense and incredible. I was able to identify and work through my own loss and in doing so learned how to help others. I also created frienahips with some amazing people. Walking in I didn't know what to expect and wasn't anticipating the amount of emotions I had. This process allowed me to gently unpack the past and put it all away. Thank you Lois, all the attendees, and the grief recovery method for allowing me to participate. I will now go forward and help others. Rebecca Voelker

Trough the training sessions I could better see and feel the grieve of people and search for mine, and clearly take notice of the help the Grieve Recovery Method give when the person is willing and open enough to make their own recovery.

For me personally the safety and confidentiality created by our trainer meant I was able to touch on parts of my life whose impact I'd almost forgotten and be heard for the first time. No pressure, no embarrassment. This is truly powerful and transformative work.

The Grief Recovery Specialist Certification Training far exceeded my expectations. I am a widow and lead a widows support group. My desire was to further equip myself with tools to further assist widows to move from surviving to thriving. I feel like the training assisted me with tools for myself in all kinds of loss and gave me even hope and passion for helping all kinds of people with grief and loss. I would highly recommend it for anyone.

Writing a testimonial on my experience with this training is hard...it's hard because the weekend impacted me on such an emotional level. In four days Steve was able to lead a group of us through our own grief journey, allowing us to feel the grief recovery method for ourselves, so that we can then go out and positively impact the lives of countless others. When we started on Friday morning I knew nothing about the grief recovery method and I only had personal experiences and myths about grief to fall back on when talking to others. By Monday afternoon I left the training feeling confident - and excited - to bring this method back home and to so many who can benefit from it. Thank you to the Grief Recovery Institute and to Steve!

The Grief Recovery Method works. For me, standard therapy never worked, but the GRM has tools in place that increase interaction with understanding your losses and help you learn more about how to live a happy and more fulfilled life. I would recommend the GRM to anyone struggling, it does work.

If you, like me, know the heaviness of what grief can do to your mind, body and soul if left unresolved, the Pure FREEDOM of it will change you and those around you forever. We live in a hurting world. Attend this perfected method and recover. Once recovered yourself, you can be a part of the blessing of setting those in unresolved grief FREE! It's AMAZING!

The GRM taught me a lot on what I thought I already knew! The process is incredibly powerful and I can see how it can help people move away from their pain onto recovery. Phyl was a great facilitator and made the experience so much more personal and close to the heart than I could have ever imagined. Thank you!

I am born after my parents lost their son. A typical example of replace the loss. After working in the training with my sister ans at home withmy parents a curious pain of the muscles in my legs occured. There was no explenation for this happening other then the work I did. So I am sure this was the effect of doing this. For the first time in my life I'm standing on my own to feet. My place and my steps are lighter now. Although it feels strange I also feel very strong and sicure after this completion. This is a present that I hoped to get and therefore I'm so grateful. I've done a lot of stuff to get myself in place, this really was the missing piece of the jig saw.

I made a decision to invest in this program based on everything I read. I was worried that somehow, it would not give me enough tools to be ready to rock and roll very quickly. I fel that I was given all of the tools and the tool box. It is up to me to use them, but if I get stuck, all I have to do is ask. I am so glad I did this training.
