The first was the making a person angelic was a puzzle I didn't figure out on a family members death when I was 19. It was always very confusing for me. That question was answered. The second was the steps of grief. I was ask where I was in the grief process and I didn't have all of those. I didn't know if I was still suppose to go through all of them. That question was answered and I could clear my head of all those voices and finish my grief process without questioning if I was doing ok.

The program, with the amazing help of my facilitator Megan Heil, taught me the method and tools I have been missing to find completion with my relationships and help me recognize and work through my grief. Because of the help I received, I can now have more open conversations about grief, and my anxiety has lessened as well! I would, and have, recommended the Grief Recovery Method to so many people!

The program forces you to look back over your entire history of loss which allows you to make connections you otherwise may have missed. The loss history graph and relationship graph are incredibly valuable for going from the broad to the fine detail work that must be done. The program also forces you to become more self aware then you may have been in the past.

My experience with the GRM and more specifically Cindy Cook was nothing short of life changing. I mean that literally. When my sister violently took her life in front of me, it left me with wounds that I was unable to heal for 28 years. When I started the GRM with Cindy, I went into it with a lukewarm attitude at best. I was closed off, my walls were made of solid concrete. You could see a few chips here and there from other things that I had tried, but mine were some very thick walls. Cindy and I laugh now, but when I first started, I threw the GRM book while doing my homework…A LOT. I felt lost, but she kept telling me that was why she was there, and that eventually it would all make sense. She told me to keep showing up, to keep doing the homework, to keep trusting her, and I did. This woman has such a heart for the hurting. She truly cares, she feels so deeply for those that are stuck in their pain and she has such passion for helping those people find the keys required to release themselves from the prisons that are keeping them from living their best life. She started work on my walls, chipping away at the outside, while giving me instructions on how to chip away from the inside. We were doing a wonderful job and I would have been so happy with how far we had gotten, but one day I had an experience/revelation/epiphany that completely blew up any walls that remained. I am 100% sure that would have never happened without Cindy and GRM. I can't promise your experience will be as completely life changing as mine, but I can promise it will be life changing in some important way. You will find ways to combat the sadness, guilt and shame that may be holding you back and find joy, peace and love to replace it with. And more importantly, you may find you walk away with a lifelong heart partner, as I have found in Cindy. Thank you, Cindy, for changing it all. <3

The program helped me to recognize patterns by drawing the timeline. Then I was able to determine where I needed to release things stuffed down by righting a forgiveness letter.

The Grief Recovery Method program has helped me to be aware of my emotions and others emotions. We all grieve differently. There are two sides to look at in most events. Learning to balance and be gentle with self during any type of loss really helps. Thank you Shirley for your time and help during the grief process.
