I signed up for the class to deal with the loss of a relationship with my father. The second week into the class my mother died. I feel blessed that I was able to work on this loss with my facilitator. The death was unexpected and everyone was supportive.

It has helped me shift from a place of being a victim to realizing that I have been suffering from a loss of a very close relationship for many years. As a victim I felt powerless. From a place of loss, I feel I have a choice as to whether I want to continue suffering or not. Through the program I have come to realize the Sterbs I have used in the past to temporarily ease the pain are not in my best interests. I feel stronger to make better choices for myself, knowing that I am capable of being there for myself. Looking to my daughter to help me feel important is not the answer.

It was a profound experience to use the method to look over the span of my life and truly dissect my grief from different angles to discover origins that I was not even aware of, despite many years of therapy. With the help of my amazing facilitator Bonnie Crocker, who has an innate gift for holding space and supporting grief, I was able to look my loss in the face and process it in a safe surround. The healing I've received from my experience has allowed me to move ahead with new insight, strength and energy to create a more hopeful and joyous future.

My two group partners were frequently unable to attend. I feel the program would have had increased long-term value if I had been able to be in a group that consistently attended.
