Testimonials For One-on-One Support
I felt like I got to tell my mom everything I wanted her to hear with a compassionate listener witnessing my grief. The empathy helped so much when I felt the most vulnerable and a lot of my pain left after the several weeks working through my grief with Denise.

The program has allowed me to regain my sense of inner peace and harmony. Not only has this Grief Recovery Method validated many of my thoughts and beliefs about grief recovery, it has also given me the tools and concepts which I can use again. Too many times prior to this experience, I have heard ... you just have to let this go. I needed to follow a process and this GRM was it. I must say thought, that I could not have done this on my own as a self-study. I needed the expertise of my facilitator, Alexa who kept me on track.

I thought I knew something about grief/loss. Turns out, I knew very little and I finally understand why all these years I have shut down when trying to talk about my grief and losses. There's a lot of confusion and misunderstanding out there. I loved learning about the acronym "Fine" Feelings Inside Not Expressed. I can totally relate to that! How many times has someone asked me "How are you?" and I say "Fine". Yeah right! The Grief Recovery Method has helped me come to a whole new level of understanding and processing my grief/loss. I highly recommend the program!

This Grief program helped me understand that there is so much grief a person can through but it is up to you as a person to help yourself get through and get tools for yourself to help yourself when it happens again.
One-on-One Support12/18/2019Participant in Pine Ridge, South Dakota
I am able to speak about my loved one freely now without shutting down. I speak of the great times we shared together often. I am able to set aside the image of my loved one dying in front of me and think of all of the smiles, great times and talks that I had instead of just the negative images.

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 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.
One-on-One Support11/30/2019Participant in Reno, Nevada
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.
