Hello GRM, There are truly not enough words I can use to describe my personal experience and feelings about The Grief Recovery Method. All I can say is THANK YOU! Thank you for giving me the feeling of being emotionally free for the first time in my life. This is something that I have been in search of for so many years and did not know where to go or how to find it. From my very first consultation with my facilitator Rachelle Jones, I immediately knew she and this program was exactly what I have been in search of. My grief started at a young age when my father walked out on his family. For years, I blamed, hated and resented the man for all he did to not just myself, but to that of our family. My sister in law described this feeling of being emotionally free and seeing her relationships in a different way than ever before. It was at that moment, now being in my mid thirties, I knew it was time to take that important first step and make the call to her grief recovery specialist. After 8 weeks of step by step Grief Recovery Method classes, homework assignments, reading and mental/emotional challenges/stimulation, I have never felt more free than how I do right now after completing the Grief Recovery Method course. Yes, it will always be a continued process of work on my part because life and grief will not stop, but knowing that I now have the knowledge, resources tools and armor to help get me through the emotional grief that will continue to happen in my life is very comforting as well as relieving. I truly thank Rachelle and the Grief Recovery Method for your help and guidance. Without you, I know in my heart I would not feel the emotional freedom that I do right now. Thank You.

Rachelle the facilitator was amazing! She was caring, empathic, kind, patient, motivating, and had a clear understanding of grief. She was inspirational and motivated all participants to be forthcoming, honest, compassionate and understanding. She encouraged us to do our readings and 'work' and she was a true role model showing how this program worked for her! The readings and exercises were instrumental in the course completion and working out the grief/loss I experienced. I have recommended it to several people in my life and who I have been in contact with that are also suffering from grief/loss. It was worth every penny! I am grateful for this program!

Gently uncovered things I previously couldn’t see about myself. Gained added self awareness. Introduced vocabulary and explanations of grief and loss. Learned tools to implement in dealing with loss/recovery. Restored hope. Changed my relationships for the better. Enlightened me on what to do/not do to others experiencing loss.

The program helped me to remove the junk of grief in my “backpack” and get it out on paper and read to another person who was my heart with ears. I am doing much better after losing my daughter four months ago.

This program really helped me to look at the losses I have experienced in a different way. I loved the concept of looking at the losses with apologies, forgiveness and significant emotional statements. There was so much I needed to say and let go of and this class helped me to be able to do that.

When I first began the Grief Recovery Program, I did not know what loss was affecting me, but just knew that I was hurting. Through the steps of the program I discovered my loss. I did two completion charts, and I have to tell you that not only did the process help me with closure for 2 relationships, but it also had a rippling effect helping me in other areas and relationships. It helped me to discover my loss and heal from it and know the signs for the future. Thank you for helping me and for being a heart with ears.

It worked out very well for me. I felt acknowledged and I felt like Rachelle had great empathy. There was a huge weight lifted off my back and my chest after going through the program. I feel happy again, and I look forward to the future. This is something that I was having trouble doing before the class.

This program is absolutely life-changing. I went into it curious and a little stand-offish. I heard about it from a friend who explained how broad grief is and I decided to pursue it. I am so glad I did. I feel transformed. I got to work with Rachelle and felt heard and validated and seen and learned healthier ways to cope and process my grief. I plan to keep pursuing completions because for as light as I feel after completing the first round, I can't imagine how amazing it will be to continue to complete and process the grief I've held inside for many years.

The program has completely changed my life. I truly am so thankful for the tools taught to me to help me handle the grief that is in my heart. I am now able to connect better with others, I have a stronger relationship with family, and when a tragic situation occurs, I have tools to help me manage my emotions. This program is so special and I really hope more people are able to experience the tools taught through the Grief Recovery Method.

This program has helped me to understand that you can forgive and apologize without blame. In review, I have concluded that forgiveness is about me not the other person. I cannot expect that I should hold myself hostage from those who have passed on or those who are living. I can apologize for the things I have done wrong because I am not perfect and acceptance of that apology is up to the other person. I must move on.

I honestly came into the program with so much pain. I had no idea how much I was carrying on my shoulders. I learned how to let go of the past and deal with my emotions. It’s hard to face the truth but actually dealing with it instead of shoving it away feels amazing. It’s worth it.

This program has been extremely helpful to me in taking the steps to heal the cumulative unresolved grief in my life. I came to the program after the death of my father, but now intend to complete all of my foundational relationships that I believed I had healed through talk therapy over the years. I was aware that there was still work to do, but did not realize just how wounded my heart still was from things long ago in my childhood. Although I have a degree in Psychology and I have lived a fairly self aware life, it was not until the Grief Recovery Method that I finally received useful tools, and not just validation for my pain. Honestly, the steps almost felt oversimplified at times, and yet I would find the work so emotional and rewarding. I am very thankful for what it has done for me in the healing of my heart.

It taught me to face my grief head on and deal with it in practical ways. The book and the homework were very helpful, but the most effective part was the one on one with Rachelle. She is an angel and she changed my life. I will recommend her to anyone who is suffering grief/loss.

The program has changed my life! My view of loss, how to cope with loss, has completely changed. My understanding and compassion for others... can be one now that helps promote healing, simply from the tools I have gained going thru the program . I only viewed death as a loss. I now know loss comes in many forms and ways. I can recognize that now. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to heal in a loving , safe environment . My teacher was sooooo amazing! She has helped me face ugly truths and fears with a loveing hand guiding me along the way!! Thank you , thank you Rachel Jones! You and your class has changed my life forever. Which means it's also changed the lives of all those around me. 4ever grateful!!!

Very helpful, informative, and hands-on. It wasn't just about head knowledge. The great part was learning how to put what we learned into practice. Going deeper was hard, but it was the only thing that could really help.
