Testimonials For One-on-One Support
It has given me a new way to look at things. Specifically STERBS, conditioning from the family and emotions I never recognized. This step by step method is valuable and will change my outlook going forward. We all experience loss, this method is for anyone who is open to it. Thank you for creating the Grief Recovery Method.

With the suicide of a family member I watched as they all began to fall apart. I stepped up and "was strong" for them, knowing full well I was only postponing the inevitable. I am not against therapy or seeking psychological help, but I had never been. After some time, and when my family was a little more stable, I knew I would need to seek help for myself, I just had no idea how. The prospect of trying to find a therapist seemed overwhelming. I've heard so many stories about the time it could take to find the "right one" for me. And then also, I'd be looking for someone who could guide me through this very specific event and accompanying emotions. It was almost the excuse I needed to NOT do it. But then while doing some internet research I came across someone practicing the GRM local to me. It was EXACTLY what I needed. Everything about it resonated with me. From the clear structured program, to home work, to "expected" outcomes... even the fact there was an end date made me much more comfortable with it, and with that comfort I was really able to open up and embrace it, which led to what I believe are amazing results. As asked by one of the survey questions, I was one of those that came in because of one loss but ended up working on an older one. I will now be using the method to work though a litany of losses that I have never addressed. I also was incredibly fortunate to get an amazing facilitator, Gwen Uss. I wonder if I would have stuck with it were it not for her. All I can say is, an excellent program and thank you! John

One of the most impactful aspects of the program for me was redefining my notions about what grief is, when it happens, why it happens, and learning how much of it I experience that I wrote off prior to the class. This would create a lot of guilt, shame, anger, and of course sadness. I feel like this glass has given me some good tools, and helped me to be better able to recognize grief and the forms it takes in my life which has been very helpful.

At first I thought the exercises were a bit silly, but as I did them, I saw that they were building me up a little at a time. I was glad that it felt like a slow progression, instead of feeling overwhelmed.

A painful loss I thought I had done my best to "get over" was still debilitating, but now resolved. I can honestly say I am healed from it.

As I read and Anne-Marie explained what grief is, it confirmed I had unresolved pain in my life. I felt like I was doing well dealing with one particular (huge) loss, but sometimes my emotions were triggered and I felt sad, upset or other emotions that just never seemed to go away. Since processing one of my biggest losses, I have felt no pain, sadness or anger towards this person. I had put this loss in a box on a shelf, so I didn’t have to see it/feel it, but it needed to come off the shelf and its contents “shredded.” At the moment the process was completed, I felt and continue to have feelings of relief. Anne-Marie is a gentle, kind and loving person; perfect for walking through this process with you. She listens intently and helps you see things you can’t see because you’re too close to the situation. She makes herself available for questions and guidance through the process and is very encouraging, especially when it gets toughest and you need that extra gentle push to get past the most painful part. She is transparent, genuine and open with the details of her own journey, so you never feel alone or abandoned. Anyone considering this program should just do it!! The emotional weight that is lifted is life changing. It’s that simple. Totally worth it.

The grief recovery program was extremely helpful in my processing of the passing of my partner. Although I processed other deaths with counseling and grief groups, I found that this program has helped me to understand grieving better in general and most importantly processing the unfinished discussions that I didn’t have with my partner. I believe I can find happiness again. Thank you for creating this program years ago.

The program helped me to have a better understand of what grief is and how to deal with it. I was able to realize that behaviors and ideas that I held onto we’re not helpful in dealing with loss; Grief Recovery helped me to deal with old wounds and have more tools to move forward.

This program truly helped me do a lot of self reflecting, develop tools and methods to cope with my loss, and bring closure to my loss. I would recommend this method to anyone grieving a loss. If you do the work, you will see results.

I thought I had found closure before doing this counseling, but I was wrong. This grief recovery was exactly what I needed to continue to find the closure I really needed.
