Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
I did the 4-day certification training, and it completely revolutionized my attitude and approach to loss and grief. The Greif Recovery Method opened my eyes to a lifestyle of empowerment and personal responsibility when dealing with grief and loss. It showed me the possibilities of living in choice while processing grief/loss in a healthy way. I was able to immediately implement the tools they taught, and experience mindset shifts regarding the feelings of loss and grief regarding my relationship with my dad who passed away in 2019. I feel so blessed to have found this program and now as a specialist I look forward to bringing these tools and training to others.

I enjoyed the training. Mike W. was an excellent instructor. He is very passionate about the work that he does, and the GRM. I can see why! I can also see that this program will have a great impact on my clients, and others.

The grief recovery method certification training is something I recommend for everyone to experience. The tools I learned are so valuable for anyone to use but especially think people working with children need to know. I am excited to take what I learned and share with others through leading groups. The 4 days made me feel confident that I can do this, it is a simple and well organized method. The most important thing I learned was the skill of compassionate listening and paraphrasing, truly active listening skills. Cole and Sandi were amazing in the ability to model what they were teaching in such a relaxed and engaging way.

The idea of being online for 4 days was a bit daunting for me but the instructor was very good & she gave lots of little breaks and encouraged our self-care. I'm grateful I took the training!

Gwen was an amazing trainer and really capsulated the elements of what makes the Grief Recovery Method such a different and effective way to complete our relationships. The mixture of readings, writing, and "giving voice" truly can help a wide variety of people express their losses.

Taking this training has now prepared me to offer grief support to those who are looking for relief. The knowledge and example my instructor, Laura, shared made a huge difference in the way it landed for me. I like how it takes all the different learning methods into consideration. Highly recommend if you are drawn to helping folks to navigate grief, or even if you want to deepen your own relationship with grief.

Think thats what I was kind of typing before.... I would also be interested in doing a 'video' as a UK resident if that helps.

Grief Recovery Specialist training is both liberating and empowering. My grainier was clear, attentive, and a great model of how to lead people through a challenging, sensitive and necessary journey.

I am THRILLED with my experience with this training! I already know that completing losses is powerful and life changing, but having the ability to help those in my community that need it is so relieving. I no longer feel powerless when I see others suffer. I have something to offer them. The human connection and empathy that one gains from doing this training is amazing. It really does have the power to change the world for the better.

I lost my beautiful son, he was 31. For four years I was devastated and living with a broken heart. Initially I was unable to function but gradually I forced myself to put on a face and get back to work. I even acted like I was ok with my children, but it was all an academy award winning performance. Each moment of the day I carried my misery and broken heart through all my activities. I frequently stated that I was just waiting to die. One night I had a fight with a girl at work. We reconciled, but it was then that I realized that my act was no longer working for me. Nothing was working anymore. I'd come to the absolute end of pretending to be ok. When I got home I typed the word grief in my search bar and found the grief recovery method. I was intrigued. Because the founder had lost his son, I decided to give it a go. I made the call, and soon after started a one on one process with Agnes K. By the end of our third session I noticed a very dramatic change. For the first time in four years I experienced peace! I could smile! I heard myself laughing! To me these things were monumental. Then just before I'd completed my lessons I could feel that my broken heart had healed. I had never even dreamed that such a thing could happen. There's no way you can bury your child without living with a broken heart for the rest of your life. And yet as a result of this process I'm happy, I have peace, I feel joy and my heart is full.

"After completing the Grief Recovery Method, I've found a sense of peace and understanding that I never thought possible. The overwhelming weight of sorrow that once consumed my every waking moment has been replaced with a newfound clarity and acceptance. I've learned to navigate through my grief, rather than letting it control me, and have been gifted with tools to continue healing as life unfolds. While the memories of my loved ones will forever be cherished, I'm now able to celebrate their life without being paralyzed by the pain of their absence. This method truly offers a transformative journey for those ready to embark on it."

The certification training has incredible content, and the structure of the program is amazing and replicable. The most crucial part is that it takes the trainee through their journey so you know exactly what your participants will experience and in the end, you can't help but be a better person and practitioner.

Absolutely loved the certification training with this program. I learned so much and am confident the resources and knowledge shared will be a valuable asset to my future clients.

I researched many programs and had intake calls with a few, I was persuaded by the Kent State association and the level of support offered after the certification. I have attended many conferences and training meetings. The excitement is intense when you hear about a new method to help or improve your results with clients. Often, once you return home there is little to no ongoing support and you begin to question your investment as well as your ability to implement the program, I am delighted the Grief Recovery Method has a 40-year history and offer lifelong support and updates.

Our world is imploding under the weight of unresolved grief. Tears unseen, words unspoken, hearts still broken, because what we misdiagnose will be mistreated. The Grief Recovery Method is one of the most effective approaches to healing the underlying problem in our world today. We are human; therefore, the fundamental need to feel, to cry, to express, and to be seen and heard is imperative to creating a world where we can truly reach our goals and dreams, as a whole and free being. GRM understands that sadness, regret, and anger can transform into gratitude and acceptance as it teaches us the powerful impact of completing the process! I am grateful! ~ Dr. Sandra Maria Anderson-Spencer

The GRM is a fascinating method of helping people with grief and loss. I valued the information and training provided and am excited to share the the good news that grief and loss are not life sentences but can be brought to completion. I look forward to continue learning about all that the GRI and GRM have to offer and to begin helping others heal and grow. If you are a compassionate person that wants to help others and value an evidence-based approach, than the GRM is for you!

My experience in this program has been life changing. I never imagined that I would feel this way after 4 days, especially with the course being online, but I did! I would strongly recommend this training to everyone in the world that wants to heal from grief in many forms. I can’t wait to help change lives with the knowledge and training that I now have!
