I finally found a method I could believe in and that works for me long term. I have tried other ways of coping with loss, death, and grief, and this method is more approachable and more straightforward to complete.

It was an amazing program, it hit everything I was feeling at the time and has given me the opportunity to live my life again. I now have the tools to reevaluate my life to see how I can become better and work through those losses if they come back in my life.

I was surprised to learn about the many different kinds of grief and the impact seemingly insignificant events from my childhood have had on my adult life.

The program helped me in moving forward with the grief of my little sister.

While the programme was a positive experience in allowing me to address the losses that I have experienced in my life I feel that I am possibly clinically depressed and therefore also need the intervention of medication and gp advice/referral. This I am now pursuing.

The sun is shining again and I'm light hearted thanks to Kari and the Grief Recovery Method. While I still have moments where shed some tears, they pass quickly. I'm finding joy again in the simple things and most importantly, my mindset has shifted. I am thankful for every moment I still have with my husband as he slowly fades away due to dementia. We laugh more and we love more. Before I was mad and yes, at times mad at him for getting sick. Not anymore!!!!! While our life will never be the same, we are living to the fullest what life we have together and treasuring every moment. Whatever version of him I wake up with each morning it's going to be ok because I have the tools I need. If you are reading this and thinking....should I sign up? Do it!!!

The program has been totally life changing for me. It made me see things at a different angle and to understand why. Joanna was very easy to speak to and open up to. This course really has changed my life. I have recommended this to everyone!

My son died and I had other children at home. I needed to keep going so I ignored my grief for 16 years until I was tired of being so angry at everything. I saw a Facebook post about Kari and this program so I checked it out. I was immediately comfortable and at ease with Kari. I trust her and felt very safe. The work was hard but I am very grateful for Kari's gentle prodding and encouragement along the way. The Grief Recovery Method has helped me to start to let go of the hurt, but not let go of the memory and love. I feel like I have better skills and mental preparedness after completing the Grief Recovery Method to navigate future losses as well.

I have used talk therapy four times in my life with limited and temporary results. I was able, with the help and expertise of my Grief Recovery Institute Facilitator, to address and complete in seven weeks what had been tormenting me for a lifetime. Now I have the awareness and the tools to live a much happier life, free from the patterns and old behaviors that were so damaging. You CAN be whole and free again - if you are willing to be honest and do the hard work of Recovery.

It worked better than I thought it would. My facilitator was excellent and helped me understand the program a little better.

I did not realize the weight of grief/loss that I was carrying around. This program has had a profound impact on my life, I feel lighter, as if I can fly. It has provided me with a life-long tool to continue working through grief/loss of the past, present, and/or future. I cannot say enough good things about it, put the work in and you will be greatly rewarded. I am beyond grateful!

The program helped me with my loss in a different way I always had before. When my husband died suddenly, I was at a loss on how to go forward. I had been with him for 36 years and trying to find my new life has been very challenging. Kari helped me work through some things that were not allowing me to live. I knew I couldn't spend the rest of my life despondent over his loss. He wouldn't want me to live like that either. I'll never not stop loving him and missing him, but the resulting anxiety and depression has lifted and I'm seeing my life I bit clearer.

It helped bring closure to problems I had with my parents that stayed with me through out my life which had me allowing people into my life who used me and I allowed them to because I thought myself unworthy. It helped me find closure from my husband dying and being in an emotionally abusive relationship with him. I can now forgive and know I am worthy. It helped me to learn to stand up for myself. It is helping me now in moving from my home which I have for 50 years and going through the emotional aspects of leaving. I am going to bring my children and grandchildren into each room to remember our memories and say good bye so we can all move on to a new chapter.

It was excellent!

It made me realize all the feeling I was feeling were ok, normal in a way. She talked to me, understood, The homework assignments kind of brought out a lot of my feelings which we talked about and tried to figure out how to work through it. That its ok to feel the way I did/do and not worry what others thought. To let all the free advice from friends, co workers anyone that really didn't know how to handle me to realize all the things they were trying to say that they thought would help, but wasn't. That I do need to share my feelings though. That I was relying on several short term relief things such as I started drinking every night almost as I couldn't sleep only to wake up everyday feeling worse for months after he passed away, and even when My Mother passed away, I isolated myself, and still do to a point pretty much actually, my anger was intense towards myself thinking I didnt do enough( which still is to a point, I will always think that I think) and towards God. I don't drink like that anymore though, but my anger is still there and still working on getting out instead of isolation. Then the recovery elements of Apologies, Forgiveness, Acknowledgements, emotional statements all put perspective into a lot of me emotions, feelings etc as well. I don't know what she did but after she left every time we met I felt better. I married the wrong person, but when Ramie and I found each other, I never had anyone that loved me, cared for me, we loved the same of everything, Food, activities, we are people people, excitement, adventure, travel, work, partners, sole mates, trust, real true love that we both said to each other we never ever had in our lives and he was snatched away by cancer in a minute. I'm still lost but she did help me tremendously, I was literally in pieces, shattered, I really didn't want to go on, or how I could. I am still lost without him but I realize, he is in no pain, and with God and I know he is watching over me everyday, and someday I will be with him again, and I have unfinished work to do here on earth and he wants me to be happy. I'm still working on that.... Lee Andra is a prize to Crossroads, thats all I can say.......Thank you .

Maureen skillfully guided me through the steps outlined in the Grief Recovery Method to help me work through the loss of my divorce. I have been able to move forward (not just past) the pain and grief, which has freed me to develop a deeper relationship with my current partner and children.
One-on-One Support03/29/2022
I was able to let go of the crutch that the pain was for me. I was allowing it to cripple my decision making and behavior. I believe I will be able to be a better employee, mother, and future wife. I am grateful for this opportunity.

Peggy Norton is AWESOME. She explained everything to me, took time to answer questions and helped me work through what I needed to. Though I am not done, she gave me the tools to start the process. The process made me look at things as far back as I have memory of. To see that some things that have been in my past that I thought were long forgotten really aren't and affect your every day life. It gives tools to help you release those weights and start with a fresh clear mind. Truly a great program. Many people do not understand that Grief is just not death. I didn't until I went to the program. Unfortunately it is a misconception that needs to be broken. As there are multiple stages and kinds of grief. I never say I am doing fine anymore... that is a cliché... I say I am doing OK...Working on it but I am ok and will be OK. I can't speak highly enough of Peggy and her caring, calming personality. She made me feel like she genuinely cared for me and my issues. That she was there for me and I was her only participant. She never pushed me to get into a group and understood my comfort level was one on one which I really appreciated. You have a real GEM representing your program.
