I am fully recovered and my relationship with my deceased spouse has been completed

This was a wonderful program and I'm so glad that I went through it. Initially I went in thinking that it would help me with the loss of health my son is experiencing but in the end it helped me to narrow down some "baggage" that I had been holding onto with my mom. Those first couple meetings were so hard emotionally as I was in so much emotional pain and distress that came with my son's diagnosis. It was essential for me to get that all out in the beginning and I truly appreciated the love/care/supportive space Anna provided for me! I loved the commitment we made each time to be without judgement/ego and confidential.I really took it to heart and kept our conversations confidential while in the program and it helped that my husband was so supportive during the 7-week process. I enjoyed having the companion book as well as the homework assignments.The book was a nice foundation to the program and it gave me a strong sense of control and partnership in the program instead of being "led" through the program. The homework assignments were helpful because it made me carve out dedicated time on my calendar to doing the readings and responding to the homework prompts. I found the definitions of PTSD and grief stimulating and insightful. I appreciated the founders of the program sharing parts of their journey as it made it a very personal and intimate experience. This program helped me understand and uncover some issues in the past and I've chosen to be free from the "baggage" and to see the situation from a different set of eyes in order to fully step into my future self. I will use the knowledge and tools I learned in the program in the future. I appreciated the extension reading at the end about additional types of grief/loss. As it makes me more aware of such transitions in life. I would strongly recommend this program to a friend if they inquired about it.

I was struggling and felt very alone in my grief. The program showed me ways to understand my feelings, accept Tom’s death and begin to return to reality.

I tried counselling many times with advice to "do yoga, find your happy place." These strategies, combined with the clinical setting and open waiting rooms, did not help or offer confidentiality. I appreciated the opportunity of choosing a comfortable place to complete the program. Alexa was compassionate, listened and guided me through the "homework." The program does take time, commitment and hard work, but it truly helps. For the first time in a long time, I feel happy and able to do things I had not done in many years. I may/will have setbacks, but I now have tools going forward to complete my loss.

The program as well as the facilitator, George Velarde, were both such an incredible tool to help me work through my grief. I cannot recommend this program enough. In such a heavy culture of diminishing grief, I am thankful that this exists.

I feel that the program really helped me understand my grief and help me accept it as a natural process when we have a deal with the death of a much loved partner. It gave me a better understanding that we have not been taught how to deal with death and what to say to people when they are grieving. I still have a difficult time in trying to say the right thing to someone but, having gone through this much more aware.

The grief recovery program is an outstanding one because it helps one to identify and uncover emotions that may be the result of deeply buried grief.
One-on-One Support11/22/2019Participant in Gettysburg, PA
What brought me to the Grief Recovery Method, was ten years of unresolved grief. In under eight years, I suffered five significant losses (miscarriage, death of both my parents, and death of both my in-laws). I spent ten years trying to "let time heal" and all those other misconceptions we are taught. I never received any type of counseling before going through the program. This program has changed my life so much to just be able to talk to a safe person about my grief and to put a voice to all of it. I will continue this program for now with my facilitator to work through other losses.

It was an outstanding experience and learned how to discuss grief with those around me.
One-on-One Support11/21/2019Participant in Lethbridge, Alberta
The program has helped me become more aware of my feelings about situations & to be active in the moment at addressing things....especially positive things. For example if someone does something or says something nice , I address it quickly instead of just holding those thoughts to myself . That you can have love for Someone even if that relationship is not what your expectations, hopes & dreams of that relationship could be. You can forgive them for flaws in the relationship & it gives you a peace & understanding that is hard to even describe. The program helped me to understand myself better & discover how much over the years that I have hidden a lot of pain because I did not know how to process my feelings.

I can not put into words how much this program helped me with my grief. The practical approach of looking at grief logically really worked for me. Thank you.
One-on-One Support11/21/2019Participant in Sudbury, MA
I initially started the program to help learn how to process the tragic death of my sister-in-law, but in doing all of the work I learned a lot about myself and how a past unresolved trauma was taking up more space in my life and heart than I recognized. I was blown away at the revelation and feel freedom from the pain I was carrying around!
One-on-One Support11/19/2019Participant in San Diego, CA
This program and my facilitator have been an amazing blessing from God! During this process, I was able to learn so much about myself, and I truly grew as a person. Although I still miss my loved one immensely, I can remember him with joy and peace. I was especially thankful of structured, step-by-step process that was used. It allowed me to pace myself and completely reflect on the wonderful relationship I had with my brother. I will admit that the program was hard work, and tears were shed. However, it was all worth it!

I have learned new ways to think about my grief and different strategies I can use to help reframe my grief experiences when they happen. The Grief Recovery System has helped me better understand areas where my grief may be coming from and how to process those feelings.
