Testimonials For One-on-One Support
This program has been extremely helpful to me in taking the steps to heal the cumulative unresolved grief in my life. I came to the program after the death of my father, but now intend to complete all of my foundational relationships that I believed I had healed through talk therapy over the years. I was aware that there was still work to do, but did not realize just how wounded my heart still was from things long ago in my childhood. Although I have a degree in Psychology and I have lived a fairly self aware life, it was not until the Grief Recovery Method that I finally received useful tools, and not just validation for my pain. Honestly, the steps almost felt oversimplified at times, and yet I would find the work so emotional and rewarding. I am very thankful for what it has done for me in the healing of my heart.

This program helped me discover that grief is really heartbreak in disguise. Taking responsibility for my own participation in relations, rather than consistently blaming the other party, is a huge step in grief recovery. Finally, healing my broken heart with forgiveness, grace, and compassion is the pathway to healing. The completion letter I wrote was and still is a catalyst to my healing, as it functioned as a liberator. I love this course!

The program has helped me face a grief I had been distracting myself from for years. It helped me work through an emotional trauma that was keeping me in a cycle of harmful decisions. I am now able to address and work through anything that might trigger this grief moving forward and I feel more myself. I know I still have a lot of things to figure out and work through, but GRM has been such a healthy release and starting point for moving forward in my life.

The Grief Recovery Program far exceeded my expectations, as I could not imagine moving through the mire of my emotions so quickly. The whole process of recovery was distilled down to core concepts that helped me navigate that process, with the help of my most skilled and dedicated facilitator, Ann Allen. Also, I am sure the benefits of this program will endure, as I now have an expanded perspective as I move forward. Thank you, also, for the inspiration and compassion at the very core of this program!

The program helped me and continues to help me work through a lot of challenges I have been dealing with regarding the loss of a very close friend who died, the failing health and impending death of my parents, and the loss of my partner as our marriage has run its course.

I felt a lifting of sadness that had weighed me down for years. Now, I understand why other people hadn’t been much help to me when I spoke to them about my sadness. It was a relief to see things from another perspective and also a relief to discuss loss with the grief recovery specialist who was very empathetic and guided me through the process.

To the very last session, I was anxious that this method might not work, might not help me recover from a lifetime of being wounded. I was wrong. Your method, along with an outstanding facilitator, have given me the tools to get out of the quicksand & begin to move forward with hope. Already I have recommended three people to your program because it works.

I lost my son to suicide in 2018. I was also trying to complete my grad program and keep my family intact. I have a personal history of very traumatic losses that resulted in PTSD that I couldn't seem to resolve. After working with Denise and learning the grief recovery method, I was finally able to put an end to some of those unresolved issues I've carried through my life, and gained the tools I needed to deal with the loss of my son. I plan to continue using those tools throughout my life, and hope to help others find their own recovery through the same method. The changes, in one year, have been significant. While I am still sad at the loss of my son, I am able to enjoy memories of him without carrying around a load of guilt or pain with it. I am profoundly grateful to have met Denise and be able to go through this process and feel like I can continue moving forward with my life.

I realized I was walking around angry and short with my friends. Celynn helped me to- using your analogy clean up my garden/weeds. I feel a bit better with my relationship with my mother.

Before I attended I felt overburdened, like something physical and/or mental was going to give. After completing the program I felt a lightness and calmness with more energy and the overburdened feeling was gone. I am thankful that as things surface I have the tools to keep going and Tammy is nearby to help.

Heather helped guide me through this 7 week Grief Recovery Method. Although, I had first started seeing her following the death of my mother, we quickly discovered other nuclear family relationships that were causing me much pain and holding me back from my full potential. I credit her and the program in opening my eyes to what grief fully encompasses, from death to a new job. I realized that all my reactions to my experiences with loss were normal. What Heather taught me was how to cope with these cumulative losses on top of the loss of my mother in a healthy way. I allowed myself to grieve and then to find completeness through the methods in the workshop. her vulnerability in sharing her own story gave me so much strength. If she could get through her own struggles, I was determined to get through mine. That was by far the biggest impact from the sessions, was her being so transparent with me about her own grief journey. I felt I was opening up to someone who completely understood where I was and where I could be in my grief journey. Thank you Heather!!!! I thank God for placing you in my path in my darkest hours of grief.
