The Grief Recovery Program has worked for me by helping me face the difficult, painful circumstances that happened to me. Bring those to the surface & be able to process them w/o being judged & in a safe environment. Of this I am truly THANKFUL to GOD for.

Outstanding. I felt so lost and hurt when I arrived but each week I gained more knowledge and strength. I worked through the loss, grief and pain with guidance from Joe. I’m very thankful for him and this program.

Even though I did not want to be on this journey of grief I am grateful there are programs like this out there and that I found this one and Paula! I feel like this program has helped me to understand what I’m going through..it has helped me too see the unhealthy ways I have been trying to cope and it has helped me to feel less alone by connecting with other people who are going through the same process as me. It was hard at times to have to do the graphs and to dredge up painful memories and turn them on their side and think about them when I would rather just forget. I see now that confronting these fears and feeling the feelings actually did not kill me and I felt a little freer and lighter having allowed them to come out. I know that there still things I need to work on and I know that I don’t have to be afraid. I felt that the the authors did a great job writing this heartfelt, insightful and practical book. I actually bought extra copies to give to a few people I know who are going through loss. I know it will help them too.

I was able to find the core loss that I believe to be the catalyst for many other losses in my life. Being able to complete that fundamental loss through the 8 weeks, has provided much healing. The encouragement to stay the course through some difficult passages was outstanding. The program's structure and composition and the facilitators' fidelity to its application, made the journey a safe and valuable one.

It helped me to understand the stages of grief and how to cope. I am forever grateful to this program. It should be advertised more as I was lucky by chance heard from an acquaintance. I would highly recommend it.

Sharing with people I like to say I can trust. I want to start fresh on my own. I know I have to change my life. I'm more confident, my self esteem is better. I don't think about the bad things in the past. I was very negative. I'm positive and making decisions.

The Grief Recovery workshop was so timely for me and I am so grateful that I attended. It gave me skills and tools to be able to deal with the grief in my heart. I have more work to do but now I am capable of completing other relationships that need to be addressed. I would repeat this course again, it was so good. Our facilitator Suzanne Easton was the perfect person to go through this journey with.

It was very helpful, and eye opener experience. The book is written in such a way that is very easy to follow and understand yet the message is so strong and powerful. It also made me realize that we don’t have to talk to our children in a fancy way but in a heart felt and honest way.

It has been a very eye opening experience!!! I was glad to learn I am not broken or damaged. I'm completely normal. We have been given misinformation our whole lives, and in just 8 weeks of true commitment to yourself, without quitting, because you want too! It's hard, but worth it! I was given the tools needed to clean out all the pain in my heart. That is not to say it won't come back or happen again, but NOW I have the ability too work through the anger, hurt and pain, and make more room in my heart for future love, joy, and happiness! I'm looking forward to the new memories I plan on making, and getting to know and like and accept the new me. I'm grateful for this amazing opportunity. I was given a life long gift, that I will treasure forever. Thank You, and God bless! Tammi Risse Successfully completed Grief Recovery Class 2019
