Testimonials For One-on-One Support
The grief recovery method I took with Ellen gave me the confidence to work through my grief now and in the future. I like how I can use this in the future with other losses and am able to have it in my back pocket for the rest of my life.

I had felt overwhelmed with my grief for a long time and was unsure how to process it. The method Caz coached and supported me through allowed me to view my grief differently and so approach it in a way I hadn't before. Whilst it wasn't easy it never felt forced or hurried. I ended the programme feeling calmer and more at ease with myself.

I felt like my eyes had been open to a new world. I feel like I have the tools now to conquer anything thrown my way. Loss is hard but with the right tools and the right people it’s manageable. The program gave me that.

The GRI program was the beginning of a lifelong journey I have been seeking. Being an extremely emotional woman, I embraced the process and trusted the journey. Cindy was an amazing facilitator that encouraged me to be vulnerable. It was brutal at times and she was always accessible to me when I contacted her for guidance. I was overwhelmed and didn't know which loss in my life to "work" on. I was very unsure if I was in the right place. Me writing with pen to paper pages and pages of my grief and pain was cathartic. Reading and processing the program with clear and guidance from Cindy was essential in my success. I can share my first journal entry the day after I read my final letter to Cindy. It speaks to my heart and it rings truth. A disguise has been eliminated and the light is emanating from places in this source I didn't remember existing. All familiar, they are dancing, bursting, and radiating from the truth that was born. It feels like new life, but I know it. No introductions needed. It's movement expands like sparkles bursting and bouncing into this vessel formally used as a taskmaster to fear, shame and guilt. All excused, all released, escorted by the giver of light. Covered in brilliance, there was no place for them to remain. Humbled by the cleansing, yet full of loving rays warming me to tears of joy and gratefulness, I run. I trust to more of me. I want more. Then, the sweet whisper of His blessing. "I am with you".

Dr. Keisha created a very safe environment for me. The way the assignments are structured promoted introspection. I realized there were things I was holding onto for years that needed to be discussed and the grief recovery process allowed me process those experiences. I felt validated in a lot of the experiences I had because often I don’t sit back and acknowledge how I’m feeling. However, through this process I was able to simply listen to how I felt and develop coping strategies. I’m truly grateful to have gone through this process, specifically with Dr. Keisha Wint. She truly went above and beyond and helped me.

It helped me cope with and avoid internalizing the unhelpful things people said to me shortly after my husband died. It helped me find the path to holding space for him and my love for him, while releasing the burden I carried because of his death.

The program doesn't structure your emotions, which will come out whenever they want to, but it does give you some much-needed structure to process your thoughts and feelings. It also prepares you for how you might feel and makes you feel normal for feeling certain things.

This program has helped me to see different kind of losses and the pain caused by them. In time, I'm looking forward to continuing my recovery by looking into other losses in my life and dealing with them. I will never forget my husband, nor all the other loved ones I have grieved for in the past, but The Grief Recovery Method has helped me continue to live without their physical presence and live with them in my heart forever. Thank you to all who have made this possible. In recovery, Alice Boudreau

My sudden, unexpected loss of my beloved son was devastating. I felt suicidal as the heartbreak was so immense. I was fortunate that a friend referred me to Kris Carpenter, my GRM facilitator. I worked with Kris remotely which worked perfectly for me. The GRM book was outstanding! I was in such despair, pain and confusion. The book, the exercises, and the work with Kris helped me so much in getting insights on how to address my grief. This has changed my life. I am alive today and optimistic about the future because of GRM. Kudos and a myriad of thanks!

This program has not only changed the way I approach loss, but also the way I approach everyday problems. I happened upon the Grief Recovery Method after going through a divorce earlier this year. I had no idea how to deal with a loss this severe, and I was willing to try anything, even though I was admittedly a bit skeptical at first. For starters, the book is a fantastic read all by itself. It is structured in a way that is easy to grasp, but offers much more depth than initially meets the eye. I would recommend it to anyone, because even if you aren't interested in managing personal grief, it also helps you to become better at helping others manage grief. I couldn't believe how many of the common responses to grief I was guilty of! I feel this program, with the help of my excellent facilitator (Monica Davis), has positively changed my life.

This program has helped me to react calmly to situations which would have caused me to explode and then live to regret my actions afterwards.

I was able to address my loss of good relationships through the years and realize that the real loss was a selfish divorce from my first wife resulting in many problems with our children. I remarried her late in life and had a very rewarding relationship until her untimely death. I was able to see the sad times but focus on the good memories of our second marriage and how special the times we shared were. I am in a much better space today because of the counselling.

After completing the grief recovery program, I felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me. I was able to feel happiness again, and just live fully again. Kari was caring, compassionate and understanding. She created a safe space for me to share details I didn’t feel safe sharing anywhere else. This allowed me to feel my feelings and let go of the grief that had been holding me back. I’m so grateful! Thank you so much Kari!
