I have been in therapy for 9+ years. For 8 of those years I have carried a loss that I could not overcome. A friend of mine told me about grief recovery and so I said I'd give it a try. Grief recovery has widen my perspective on grief. It helped me to remember things and to pull things out of me that I wanted to keep hidden. Andrea created a safe environment for me to be vulnerable and express my true feeling, whether we were laughing or crying. I love the resources of this program and the tips Andrea gave me to manage grief I will experience in the future. It feels like a weight has been lifted to finally overcome my loss. I am so glad I am at peace.

I would highly recommend the Grief Recovery Program. What ever kind of loss you have experienced and the pain of grief can be addressed with this program. The steps of the program and compassionate guidance of your facilitator will help you find your strength and regain your power. The Grief Recovery program will provide you with the compassion, knowledge and skills to do exactly what the program is named. To recover from greif and to recover yourself, to find your truth, happiness, power and voice.

The program has helped me separate the grief from the disbelief of all the deaths that occurred in a short time. It gave me the opportunity to say the things I wanted to say and clear any guilt, regret, and resentment.

I went into this program feeling like I needed to deal with some losses, but not sure where to begin. After meeting with my facilitator, I chose my divorce as the loss to resolve first. Throughout the process, I discovered other feelings I had that qualified as losses that I would like to work on. I think the GRM has given me the tools to do this. I thought the Loss History Graph was especially helpful (and surprising) in identifying losses throughout my life. I do know I will be completing several more Relationship Graphs and Completion Letters in the future. A couple things I mentioned to my facilitator: 1. I would like to complete a relationship graph on myself, to help identify the events in my life that have shaped who I am and want to be. She confirmed I can do this. 2. I wish this was a required college course. Even if you don't feel like you've suffered a significant loss, I think everyone could benefit from the coping techniques learned during this method. I've recommended the book to my grown children.

It has helped me become more aware of my self talk- and how I am relating to people a round me. Remembering that grief isn't just about death or divorce- How a person is raised dictates what they become, and how they see themselves. however, You can change this self talk ...and try to remember no blame, don't complain... To be more open.

This course was a blessing and a wonderful gift for me. I was honestly a little skeptical at first and there was definitely some discomfort involved in going so deep, but the benefits were so worth it. Karen was so instrumental in guiding me to realize some deep-seated emotions that I have been carrying around since childhood. The learning process went way beyond the initial loss of my sister. Karen was so wonderful to work with – kind and compassionate, candidly sharing her own journey through this process. I always felt so encouraged by her warm and caring nature. What I truly appreciated was that beyond a traditional therapy of just talking and talking and talking things out, this process provided actual tools for dealing with grief and loss. And these tools can be applied to other losses in life. I very much appreciated learning this process and would highly recommend Karen to everyone.

I liked and benefited from the graphs. Having to look at the relationship in detail and recall the memories helped me understand, forgive and move on.

I was able to document/complete some thoughts and feelings I had around some of the losses I have experienced in my adult life and didn't realize I was hanging on to. I appreciate that I was able to take the time and be purposeful with the program to make it work for me.

When I first started with this program I was not sure what to expect. I took time and followed the instructions I was given and learned so much about myself. The loss of my father was a devastating one for me. With the help of Laura who led me through the steps in this program, I have been able to let go of some of the hurt, anger, and sadness I was holding onto. Though I still feel a loss, I am no longer crushed by the weight of my devastation. I am comfortable with feeling sad from time to time and am enjoying fond memories of my dad more and more. I had not realized how much my grief was affecting my everyday activities and outlook. I am thankful for Laura and for this program. I highly recommend this program to anyone who has ever experienced loss.

My experience was eye opening. I felt safe in expressing my true feelings. Cindy created a safe space, free of judgement. She was truly a heart with ears. Cindy was vulnerable and allowed a space for me to be vulnerable. I came in with a lot of pain that I kept buried and to myself. I felt suffocated at times by being silenced from the people around me. Cindy helped me to break free. This is still a work in progress but she has given me a strong foundation to move forward and be better.

After losing both my parents several years ago, I found that my grief had been repressed and tucked away - maybe never to be dealt with ever. As the onset of the current pandemic and the death of thousands in the daily news, as well as the many hours at home - quarantine from the outside world. I found that the deaths of my parents came bubbling up and I needed to find a way to work through my sorrow. Ms. Fields facilitated and coached me to understand my grief and took the time needed to teach with an empathic heart that there are better days ahead. If you have ever suffered a loss, whether recent or years ago, Ms. Fields can help. Please look her up.

After completing this program I had greatly reduced feelings of grief which opened me up to focus on other things in the present in my life. This effect was almost immediate. There was another effect that I find is taking place more slowly. I had enshrined the person I had lost and now I am finding that slowly I am remembering her just a regular person. Plus doing this program during the COVID Pandemic gave me something positive to focus on. Thanks so much.

The program was open and inviting from day one. I was able to re-define words like forgiveness and grief. This redefining alongside of the other tools that were offered throughout the program, truly helped me to change my relationship with the pain accompanied by grief.

I'm a better person, a better friend and a better mom. I've learned how to deal with things instead of pushing them aside. I've learned how to open up more and express myself. I've finally learned how to deal with my past and future losses.
