They came from a place of understanding and were very knowledgeable. They were also willing to be vulnerable and patient

My Experience

Place of calm understanding able to share

My Experience

I have quit focusing on the grief I have experienced with my birth mother and feel that I can now move on without her. There are other aspects of my life which I think will benefit from working through the process and I know I have already bought an extra book to give a friend plus one of the resources for children as my brother has brought a family over from Ukraine and the young boy appears to be having some difficulty knowing that his father and grandfather who remain in Ukraine are facing so much danger. My grandson's maternal grandmother is a residential school survivor and I am hoping this program may help her as she continues to deal with difficult emotions as a result of what happened to her - one of her other daughters is a social worker and I am hoping that she will be interested in getting the program run for some of her clients.

My Experience

The GRM was excellent. It helped to identify some causes of grief & to develop some personal coping skills to come to term with my emotional pain of loss of my beloved. I feel a bit stronger to attempt to move on with my life & perhaps Try something new. Maybe I have gained a bit of maturity of understanding myself & my small bit of healing. I know I should also be patient with myself & reach out to those who care, although that is difficult for me, & perhaps can work on that.
