During my 30+ years of personal growth work, I have addressed many aspects of the various losses in my life. However, the format of the Grief Recovery Program allowed me to look at the overall picture in a manner I hadn't done previously, as well as enabling me to focus on specific traumas and losses in a more comprehensive way. In my experience, it is rare to have the opportunity to be fully heard while sharing painful experiences. Having Marla be "a heart with ears" was a great gift. The program resulted in a greater sense of completion with my father and to paint a more comprehensive picture of the whole relationship vs. thinking of it in parts. My father died more than 20 years ago and I have done a lot of work on that relationship in the intervening years, yet there was more to do and the Grief Recovery Program gave me the time and space to do it. Marla's personal experience, empathic nature, knowledge of the program and willingness to listen contributed greatly to the comfort and trust I experienced as well as the value gained.

What I found particularly helpful in the program was the way the info was rolled out, week after, week, chapter after chapter and frequently reinforced throughout the program. For me the most ah ha moment came when I had to do the loss graph followed up by the relationship graph. The loss graph allowed me to methodically review my life in a way I had never done before, and probably would never have, if not for the program. It had many surprises, things I have not thought about in decades, which helped me so much by providing a historical overview of what seemed unrelated events. At first I thought I would have difficulty finding above the line items in the relationship graph, but the loss graph helped me to realize there was good among the bad. I am happy I did the process, but it was not an easy journey. Worthwhile, but not easy and only valuable if you really do the hard work and spend serious time on your homework, which I did.

It has worked amazingly. I dont know what to say. I was emotionally overloaded all the time and physically exhausted from the stress and I didn't know how to manage any of it so I was medicating and distracting myself to try to stay floating. Cynthia is wonderful. She's a fantastic listener. She has a way of helping you feel comfortable and open up about difficult and even embarrassing things. She had amazing insight and wisdom to offer and I always felt cared for, heard and seen. After I completed the program the difficuly things in my life that we worked on didnt go away but there is no pain or stress from them anymore. I feel so much better. I have less stress. I no longer medicate or distract myself like I used to. I have more energy and my self confidence has gone up an unexpected amount. Everyone should go through this program. I'm sure there are many councilors who do this program across the country but im certain that Cynthia is one of the best. Thank you for everything. Its made all the difference.

Going through the Grief Recovery Method with Naomi was an eye-opening experience. I learned so much about what grief is and how it is presented in our day-to-day life. I started Grief Recovery because I was having a hard time with my husband deployed. I thought I was doing this program because of the loss of having him here with me, but I ended up discovering specific past and present experiences were affecting the loss I was having. I learned how to identify and let go of hurt from my past as well as become aware of patterns of hurt from a present relationship that was contributing to the pain I was having during the deployment. I now have tools for how to work through losses. I highly recommend this program no matter what your loss may be. Naomi is compassionate and made me feel comfortable and safe. She truly listened and empathized without any judgment no matter how intense or dark my emotions would get. I am so thankful to have had her coach me through this process.

The Grief Recovery Method Completion was like finally opening a pressure valve you knew was in dangerous levels but didn't have the strength or tools to open prior. I now have emotional, physical and mental energy more free. The process was work, and also emotional, but the energy gained in the end made it worth it. I feel I can be more of the woman God created me to be again.

I worked very diligently and gave 100%. The death of my spouse was sudden and unexpected. The program helped me address conflicting emotions I was experiencing due to things left “unsaid and actions unfinished”. I felt more at peace when I completed the program.

I've never been supported with such depth through my grief and I am so grateful I had Rebecca's knowledge, compassion, and presence to guide me through this difficult, but profound process. I am a completely different person for having walked through this process, I now have a truer sense of myself than I've ever had before. Rebecca was extremely supportive, insightful and would offer a perfectly timed question to get me to dig a little deeper and make amazing discoveries into who I am, how I've been processing my grief, and how valuable my grief story is. I can't say enough for this experience and I would greatly recommend the Grief Recovery Method and Rebecca Lee as a guide in this journey.

After a traumatic brain injury, I seemed to be in a difficult place, my past was blurry, my future unknown. During the time since the injury I have a lost alot of not only who I was, but my career and future plans. The Grief Recovery Method has helped me put to bed many demons from a past I barely remember and have very little emotional connection to. I find that after many many years I am at peace with a past relationship that had ended badly. I am looking forward to working through my other losses with Jordan and this program.

I feel it may be a little soon to understand if the program worked for me. I know my journey in grief is a little easier. I do not understand how this program is going to help.I do know the reasoning behind the program but found it too emotional to rehash my whole life especially so soon after my husband died. I was an emotional mess during the 7 weeks and found the homework very stressful hard work. However I did my best and was very truthful. I do hope I will recognize it’s value very soon and be able to move forward.

It taught me that a relationship loss can be with someone who is still alive and who is very much a part of my life still. In completing this loss I am able to look upon the relationship differently, to engage in the relationship more authentically, and to freely offer grace..!
