Testimonials For One-on-One Support
It was helpful to just understand what grief is and how to handle it in a healthy way. I was so grateful for someone that was invested in my healing. That alone is powerful. It helped me see relationships differently and to always try to live in the now and be 100%. And to also be an active listener and help understand and empathize more when other people are going through a loss.

Outstanding. It has helped me to let go of some of the long standing anger and grief I have been experiencing surrounding the relationship I worked on. I found the structure and format really helpful, and working with a compassionate and supportive person who has also gone through the process was key. Thank you.

I cannot say enough great things about this program and Kristy. Kristy is amazing and has a very real passion for this work. She was an incredible guide during my journey through grief loss recovery and I am so glad I had her to steer me through this process. She is professional, gentle, compassionate, understanding, and I can’t imagine having completed this program without her.

I found the program accessible, gentle, and moved at comfortable pace. I was initially worried that I might find the process too difficult emotionally and that I would be overwhelmed and I would end up dreading the weekly session. That couldn't be further from what I experienced. I also liked the combination of learning from the book and having coaching and support from the facilitator. The book was easy to follow and provided a wealth of examples based on real life experience. The coaching of the facilitator provided additional contexts and provided a sense of security that I would have their support in case I got into "trouble" or needed support.

The GRM program gave me the tools and method to dissect systematically the complex emotions I've been experiencing. Each assignment allowed me to zero in on one aspect of the loss. By placing my attention on specific details it allowed "information" to percolate to the surface and manifest to my awareness. Some losses and feelings that were "driving" my grief reaction were surprising to me when I finally acknowledged them. Having this awareness and understanding has provided a whole new perspective and also a compassion for myself that I didn't previously possess. Thank you!

Hounaïda is very talented and probably saved my life. I was hopelessly lost dealing with a messy divorce and she helped me see that I can create whatever outcome I want and got me out of my depression and negative thoughts. Most impressive is my kids have tools to manage now and they're much better at expressing themselves and seem happier overall. Thanks again Hounaïda!

The Grief Recovery Program gave me a path to healing. My husband and I were in a wreck and he died at age 51, as I tried to breathe for him. Becoming a widow at 48 I felt lost, alone, hopeless. My first meeting with Kari brought me a comfort in knowing someone understood what I was going though, someone could relate to an unexpected death at a young age. This was incredibly important to me, having someone that got what I was going through. Throughout the program I was taught to truly evaluate my relationship and appreciate not only the love, but the grief. While I felt (and still feel) like the rest of the world just kept on turning while I was stuck in hell, Kari understood and gave me a safe space to talk, cry, laugh and learn about how to move forward in this world that continues to turn. I am also struggling with a brother who has stage 4 cancer and I know, sadly, that I will be losing him, but I now know I can use this program to help me through that loss as well. I have been to many widow groups, therapists, PTSD treatments, Kari brought a personal, free to say what you want environment that, on many days, allowed me to breathe and put that next step forward. I'm so thankful.

It has completely changed my life. I feel in control of my body and mind for the first time in my life. My husband, children and friends have all commented on how much I’ve changed for the better, how confident I am and how I’m now enjoying life for the first time.

I worked on my loss of relationship with my Brother and the program really showed me how grief is different for everyone and the different kinds of grief. Not only was I able to let my Grief go and move on but I can take everything this program has taught me with me in the future for further use if needed. I feel much more happy and free than I did before.

The program was so intuitive- the next week always seemed to be what I was feeling the need to explore further. I would never have pushed myself to this depth of healing without my facilitator. She was full of wisdom, inspiration and patience and I am forever changed. The freedom I feel after this process fills me with relief and empowerment. Highly recommend!

This program helped me look at grief a completely different way and helped me find new coping ways to help with my losses in life.
One-on-One Support02/08/2022
I found the program and it’s concepts very intriguing. Saying goodbye to all the “apologies”, “forgivenesses”, and significant emotional statements seemed to have some merit. All in all, I did derive some benefit from the course however I am still deeply distressed by my loss. Going back to the Good Bye letter doesn’t seem to help significantly. Poignant memories still maintain a feeling of significant loss which is a constant source of pain.
