I learned so much from the material covered and from the others in my class, including some real surprises about my own experiences of grief. Grief that I thought had healed or lessened with time turned out to affect me deeply still, and I'm glad to have this opportunity to recover from it while learning first-hand what a powerful tool the Grief Recovery Method is. I can see that I have a lot to learn still, both about myself and about how to help others, and I love that there are resources and support available to me as I continue.

I am excited about my certification as a Grief Recovery Specialist. I was able to walk out the process to address my own grief. This process is completely life changing and heart fixing. Grief Recovery Method is an emotional game changer.

Mikel Wadel is such a gifted presenter. He has the ability to connect with his audience and to explain the content in a way that is easily understood. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the class. You will love his class!

My biggest take away from the training was when I courageously dig into my unresolved grief and pain, I discovered that freedom from the pain of unresolved grief is possible using the Grief Recovery Method tools. I learned the value of honoring my own pain and the pain of others. There is so much healing, freedom and transformation when our pain is heard without judgment. After I finished the training, I thought everyone should do the inner work using Grief Recovery Method if they want to be set free from the bondage of false belief system and develop new and healthy habits to improve their quality of life and relationships. I highly recommend Grief Recovery Method to everyone who is willing to grow and do the work.

The Certification Training is incredible. Working on a personal loss in a group setting is extremely powerful. I recommend this to EVERYONE. There is not one person I know that would not benefit from going through The Grief Recovery Method, whether through the training or with a Specialist.

This training was exceptionally well laid out and very easy to follow. I can and will encourage all with whom I come into contact to experience it for themselves in order to feel a freedom that comes when being able to release any unfinished business, dreams or experiences after their own personal loss.

The insight and wisdom offered in this training create so many ah-ha moments. So simple, yet so important when working with grief. This certification was so valuable to me and it was truly the best training I have attended in over 20 years as a social worker. Cole was an excellent facilitator that made the process unbelievably successful. I would highly recommend this training to everyone!

I had started to facilitate a couple of grief and loss groups and knew I needed more guidance rather than just listening to and encouraging these grievers. This training has given me the confidence and tools to move forward with helping others (whether in groups or individually), recover from their loss, and to then be able to move forward in their life. Thank you so much for offering this training. My husband died a little over 1 year ago. This came along at a perfect time in my life and was just what I needed!

I have had multiple losses to which I had a hard time compartmentalizing on how each means to me. This class was so amazing to focus on each one individually and to listen to my heart on how my emotions have been playing into my life. These tools will be helpful to others that I will be meeting with as well. Grief is all around us. It is how we speak in order to heal. Thank you for an amazing training.

I was pleased to find that The Grief Recovery Method is practical and easy to implement. Going into The Grief Recovery Specialist Certification Training, I was worried that the method would be too rigid to apply to the work I am already doing, or that it wouldn't translate when working with the populations my program serves. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tools and principles are relevant, action-oriented, and common sensical. I am also grateful to have learned the method through modeling and working on my personal losses; because I have been through it, I have no doubt that it will be deeply impactful for the people I am now able to help. Thank you!

The Grief Recovery Method helped me to identify the multiple losses in my life that caused me to realize that the loss I thought I had to process was not the heart of the problem, it was the final straw. I was able to process events and losses that allowed me to complete the "the loss" and move forward. I was at a point where I was able to function at survival mode only, the darkness and depression were overwhelming me. I have my life and my light back, I am functional again. I've also been able to complete a loss that I was not aware was bothering me
