What grievers say about Danielle

I just completed the program this week. The feelings of grief will always occupy space in my heart and soul.....However, now I walk and talk differently about my immense pain and grief.

This program taught me to focus on my feelings, which is something that we are not taught to do. We learn to run away from our feelings so it's new and difficult, but rewarding.

Before I participated in this program, I had terrible feelings and memories about my mother and about the way she treated me. The program helped me to remember some good memories of our relationship and now I don't immediately go into a litany of the ways she abused me when someone asks me about her, which I had done before participating in this program. I have more peace with my memories and do not feel as angry about my mother and about my upbringing like I formerly did. The Counselor, Danielle Gohn, was gentle, kind and empathetic during the whole experience. She was understanding and very knowledgable about the program and on the subject of grief and loss and was always available to discuss anything I needed to discuss.

My response is outstanding. It changed my life and the way I viewed the loss and has taken away much anger and pain

I was finally able to let go of ways of being that were a direct result of grief that I was stuck in. I see my father and our relationship more clearly. I finally have my love and acceptance of him, that I lost as a child, back. Thank you.

I was able to complete my relationship with my father that passed away 3 years ago. I am so excited by the change in how I feel that I share my experience with anyone that will listen.

I am amazed by how much I learned by participating in the program.

I feel that I am more aware. I am able to separate from feelings and look at them different. Certain areas that once caused pain aren't as 'heavy'.
