Testimonials For One-on-One Support
I chose a very intense, complicated, deeply painful, often daily wrought over loss to complete - that being the death of my father. I must say the tools in the TGRM were easy to learn in concept and were broken down perfectly in terms of emotional difficulty. Though I really struggled with and majorly dreaded reading my Completion Letter aloud - it was the very thing most critical to the completion of my cycle of sadness and longing. I have found in life that sometimes the hardest things - the things we most dread are so necessary for progress and growth (ugh!! - lol) For me, this process allowed me to systematically step through a tangled, wrought over, guilt ridden, scary bunch of emotions surrounding my relationship with my Dad and the sudden loss of him experienced in my home over 20 years ago. Being one week after of the last session, I feel lighter - I am thinking clearer and I am not as intensely sad as I had for so long...I AM SO THANKFUL!! I so agree, what you put into it, you will get out of it...The process works! Yes, it is hard, but I encourage you to give yourself the time and space to go deep and say all that needs to be said. As important and effective as the method, was the facilitator that guided me through the process - Kristy Anderson. Kristy has been someone who chose to step into my world of grief. Though others were put-off by my "years of deep sadness" and seemingly closed off stance - she chose to befriend me. She has a heart of empathy like no one I know and choses to love, care for and help those who are hurting and broken hearted. It was no surprise to me when she pursued becoming a facilitator for TGRM. I consider myself blessed to have been her pilot student. I chose a very intense and deeply painful loss to complete. I knew I could trust her and that I could see it through to completion with her love and guidance. Kristy is caring, deeply compassionate, trustworthy, knowledgeable and genuine. I believe she is meant for this and will offer many the opportunity to process, heal and emerge stronger. I am honored to call her my friend!

I came away from the program with a complete change of how I viewed my 40 year relationship with my deceased husband. I was able to see very clearly why I was feeling such a myriad of emotions. I was able to come to a place of understanding, clarity and compassion for myself, my husband and our marriage. I live in forgiveness and love for us both, today.

Not only was I able to deal with the grief I had unresolved, it also helped change my outlook towards others' personal issues, hidden or in plain sight. Thera did a phenomenal job, and I with the best for her and her future clients, of which she deserves many more.

It has been so helpful in terms of helping me put words to my feelings and thoughts about grief. I have learned lots of tools and information that I use on a regular basis to help me through the daily struggles of losing my parents.

I would highly recommend Misty and the program to anyone suffering from grief. She listens with an empathic ear, understands your emotions and is with you compassionately as you move though the process of understanding your loss. I had lost a family member some years ago, and being a man, I thought I had to bottled up my feelings. I was introduced to Misty by a mutual friend and was set on path of working though my grief with weekly meetings and some personal reflections (homework). She guided me through the steps needed in a relativity short period of time and all at a reasonably cost. If you are suffering from any sort of loss that has affected your life, I sincerely would suggest to reach out to Misty.

The program was excellent for me. Not only did I learn strategies that I will use for the rest of my life/ experiences that I go through, but it helped me accept my past. I wanted to come out of the program feeling empowered and that is exactly how I feel every day now.

As I said previously, it's helped me focus on emotional loss/baggage regarding my sister's kids sexual abuse and help me move to the next chapter of my life after my husband committed suicide.

I started the program trying to decide if I was going to file for divorce. Through the process, I identified some unresolved issues in my childhood. I did the work on my step mom and my relationship with her. Through the process, I realized how much she has affected my marriage and relationship with others. I am now continuing the program and doing the work on my husband in hopes of saving my marriage. Bethann was compassionate and professional. She also held me accountable and made me do the hard work. I would truly recommend this for anyone even if they feel they don't have a lot of grief!

The program has helped me learn new things about grief and how to handle it. It has also helped me understand the uniqueness in all grieving situations.

I participated in a pilot program , When children grieve with Francine Masterson. I thought it was very valuable to be able to identify the " emotional Energy Check list" for children." Beginning to learn how to respond by allowing the child to talk about a lost. Reviewing the relationship to help the child discover the things they wished had ended different, better or more was very enlightening. There is a lot more to learn about this topic. This pilot program has helped me to see things through a different Lens. I wish I had had this method when my children were growing up... Thank you Francine! Ina Bourgeois

I was thrilled and honored to do the Children Grief Recovery pilot program with Francine. It is an amazing useful tool for helping children deal with loss. It helps transcend traditional thinking in helping children grieve. I like the action-oriented approach that provided concrete suggestions of things to say and do with a child to help acknowledge the loss and to complete the process of grieving in the healthiest of ways. Sadly, we do not always teach our children useful skills to deal with the feelings caused by losses, large and small because we do not know how. This program benefits all parents, teachers, counselors and others who interact with children on a regular basis. Francine is one of the best facilitators I have ever experienced in a group and individual setting. She is a true asset to the Grief Recovery Method and I believe anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will receive many of the gifts the program has to offer. Most importantly learning guidelines and tools for helping children develop a lifelong, healthy response to loss.

SUCCESS!!!! I was able to enjoy the holidays this year for the first time in many - if ever! This was probably the hardest experience since living through the original events but Bethann made it manageable and motivated me to keep going. I am 100% forever grateful for her compassion. She has given me a new beginning. I recommend Bethann to anyone and everyone who will listen! This has been a life changing experience.
