I think I have a better understanding about grief and how it has played a role in my life. I am going to continue to do some work on other relationships and get complete with that emotional pain so that I can live life in a different way moving forward.

I lost my brother who was very very close to me in 2019. I had trouble finding a grief counselor or coach and then the pandemic hit and everything went to zoom meetings. I discontinued my hunt for someone to help because I didn't think it was a good fit for me to work via zoom. I wanted a personal connection. When I heard that Mike Galeotti had been certified as a grief counselor, I was sold! He was very honest, empathetic and trust worthy which made the entire process much easier to be able to confide in someone about something so private yet devastating. The process was very valuable and I learned tools that I can now apply to other losses in my life. I feel more at ease with the loss of my brother and have been able to let go of a lot of anxiety, pain and frustration I was holding on to for years. I still have a great connection with my brother and love the "PS letters". Thank you Mike Galeotti for all your help. 5 star!!! Sincerely, Krista Ernsdorf

I feel that I finally was able to truly worked on my grief with The Grief Recovery Method and the tools given to me by the facilitator, Paulina Morales. After doing the work, I feel like something lifted from my body, I felt lighter and felt liberated from the loss. I had talked about this loss in traditional therapy before, but never experienced what I finally did under the Grief Recovery Method. I have to thank the program and the facilitator for helping me finally move in a healing direction. Thank you, Laura Scholten

This program validated my feelings and made me feel that I wasn't crazy for dealing with the stuff I was emotionally feeling. It help me identify grief and where it stemmed from. I was about to identify things I was doing in place of grieving.

This program has helped me immensely. I always knew their was weight on me after my past relationship/breakup that was very hard to deal with and move forward from. I always knew there would never be any “getting over it” but this program has helped me cope with my past and the current feelings that coincide with my past in a more healthy way. Another way this program helped is by having someone as amazing as my mentor go through it with me. Knowing you’re not alone in grief is very helpful even if the way two people Grieve and what their grieving could be so different; working with someone makes you feel grounded.

This program is excellent. My facilitator Peggy Norton was a Godsend for me. I have been hoping to find the answers for why I have been stuck in my life. From the moment I met Peggy Norton I felt she was sent to me by God. She has helped me understand that the reason for my suffering. Peggy's expertise has help me realize that I have not put myself first. The grief recovery book and process of learning how to move through my different life experiences has made me feel like I am not a failure. I have now learned skills to help me to understand that my feelings are important. I can not begin to explain how working with Peggy and how she has changed my mindset about learning who I am and that I matter. This program can be difficult going through the process of learning about grief. I feel if more people struggling with grief. Once they took this program w Peggy's help. They would discover how special they are and would walk away with the tools necessary to help manage their thought process. We grievers need to understand that we were not taught the necessary skills of how to respond to painful losses. I would highly recommend this program to anyone that is struggling w grief or loss of any kind. I would also hope that they would find someone like Peggy Norton who is so compassionate, professional, knowledgeable and understanding. We need more people like Peggy Norton to help guide people in their Grief Recovery process. I am looking forward to my new life and discovering myself. Thank you Peggy for coming into my life at the time that you did. I greatly and humility appreciate the time and effort gracefully walking me through this process. You are truly amazing. I thank you with all my heart. Sincerely yours, Evelyn Cora Boston

Through this program I was able to understand and reconcile my feelings for myself and others in a meaningful, compassionate and healing way; in my completion exercise, I was able to work through my anger and resistance towards my loved one to the deep grief and pain that lay underneath. I had never allowed that to arise and when I did - in the safe and nourishing space that Gwenda Lambert provided - I felt some of the adversarial emotions begin to soften and dissipate. I felt clarity, open-heartedness and a lightness of being that I hadn't before. I had also not recognized/acknowledged my PTSD from childhood trauma. Going through the loss and relationship graphs, and witnessing my responses and behaviours to events and people, a picture of injury and isolation emerged and I realized that I needed to also forgive myself. This has definitely been a life-changing experience for me and I am indebted to Gwenda for her generous and amazing stewardship through this process. I will definitely be recommending this course to others going forward. Many thanks, Ayesha Adhami-Magueta

I knew I had some unfinished business related to several major losses in my life. This Method helped me approach this work in a clear, confident and safe way that helped me complete this work with my father's loss. And the real gift was also learning about how to grieve in a healthy was and how to do this work myself with other losses. It equipped me to be more courageous and active in dealing with loss.

Where do I even begin. Words fail to suffice just how much the program's helped me. Right from the beginning, the book was able to correctly educate me on grief and grievers. I felt so much more empowered and equipped to not only tackle my own grief but be a better friend and a more sensitive observer to another griever. Working through my own grief was not easy but at the end of reading my letter I felt like it was, as cliche as it sounds, life changing. I feel different, lighter, softer, more vulnerable, less tightly wound. What an amazing experience and how freeing. I wish I knew about this sooner and did this sooner. I had thought it was going to be a taxing process but it really was not. I put it off for so long because I didn't want to deal with it head on, didn't want to get worse before it gets better since I already felt like I was at the end of my emotional rope. I truly regret not doing the program years ago. I would've been free so much earlier. Thank you.

After losing my brother and sister within 3.5 months of each other in 2020, I was really struggling with feelings of deep loss and grief. Then, at the end of 2020, my relationship ended with the love of my life and 8 months later as I was beginning to heal he passed away in a motorcycle accident. My heart and soul were broken and grief consumed me. I truly did not know how I could recover. I have known Deborah Gallo for years and she has always been a compassionate and trusted friend. I felt safe starting the Grief Recovery Program with her. What a godsend and blessing working with Deborah has been. Over the course of the program, I was able to see how my grief was holding me hostage and not allowing me to move on and let go of my deep all-consuming sadness. The seven week Grief Recovery Program along with Deborah’s compassionate nature and guidance was exactly what I needed. I feel confident that the tools I learned will help guide me and allow me to heal. It is a journey that feels brighter and manageable after completing the course. Deborah’s dedication and support continued after the 7 week course ended. My boyfriend’s family had excluded me from his Memorial service, and with Deborah’s encouragement I was able to honor and celebrate his life. I organized a nice beach party with his friends and Deborah came to support me. It meant so much to me that she was there, supporting me through the darkest moments I have ever experienced. My only regret is that I didn’t do this program earlier. My grief journey feels lighter and more manageable after completing the course.
