Testimonials For Support Groups
I am better equipped to deal with grief. I believe I have new skills to cope with the grief that I’ve endured and may incur in the future. Becoming more knowledgeable about what grief is has been the greatest discovery I’ve found in the last 8 weeks. We were all blessed to have such a wise and compassionate instructor. She was so patient with me that it made me feel more secure in being vulnerable. Truly glad that I was able to open up to Ms. Shorter because at first I had some reluctance about speaking in the group. She helped me by allowing me to share or not share when things got difficult for me. I wish I had something like this in my earlier years of life but I do now. Thank you , Ms. Shorter for reaching back with your light to pull others out of their darkness. God bless you.

Celynn is wonderful, but I think because she doesn't do this workshop regularly that she had to read the manual a lot to explain things. But I liked when she gave her own personal examples.

The classes and homework were very emotional but healing. Celynn did a great job keeping us on task in a caring and patient way. She guided us through very difficult revelations and memories. I was sorry when the class ended. I feel a deep bond with the other participants and with the facilitator. I can't recommend this class enough.

Sam was wonderful with guiding me though the program. She made me feel welcome, safe and unjudged. Sam was supportive throughout and was always there between sessions if i had any questions or insecurities with things i was working on. She never once tried to fix me, to stop me crying, she just sat and listened and was just wonderful.......she was also ready to hand out the hugs i so desperately needed at times.

The facilitator was very compassionate and attentive. He had gone through loss on a very personal level and was able to clearly communicate how this program helped him the multiple times he went through the course himself. His personal experience with grief and experience leading the course was valuable.
