Testimonials For Support Groups
After my Mother passed, I did a lot of therapy and even spent several years on an antidepressant. I realize now why they didn't work. The focus was getting over the sadness and not working through the sadness. This program helped me so much more than the therapy. Rainer is an excellent leader. The program helped her so much and it gives her the perfect Amount of empathy. She was excited for us to find our own path to healing.

It has showed me even though I had losses and I thought everything was bad experiences, I did have some good experiences.

It has helped me realize that my inability to cope with my grief was normal due to never being taught how to do so. All of the reactions I've experienced from others came true. The myths are real. I'm able to better understand and try to accept what's happened and take my time to heal myself.

I started this program because my daddy died of alcohol overdose and it has been the most painful and traumatic experience of my life. When I started this program I was full of rage, life made no sense any more and I could not enjoy anything at all. The last few years I was primarily focusing on all of the negatives about my relationship with my dad and I forgot about all of his good things. The most beautiful discovery about this program is that it reminded me of all his good things too, it helped me see him for who he really was. It made me love him more. It allowed me to start healing from this unbearable loss.

The program was helpful. I never went to a program so I don't know how to rate it. I wish we had more meetings as our feelings are different all the time. Grief Recovery isn't a 6 week course. All people grieve differently. When you've been with someone, or known someone for 40 years, it takes more than 6 weeks to begin to heal. I feel the courses are too short. The team I was with were great but I want more. I still need help. I know it's not a cure but it helps.

I was grieving the loss of a miscarriage earlier this year. During the course of the program, I became pregnant again and was initially crippled by the fear of having another miscarriage. Completing the program allowed me to become aware of then process my emotions relating to the miscarriage. This helped me to let go of that loss, which allowed me to enjoy this pregnancy without those lingering fears and emotions.

Open me up to release the my anger
Support Groups11/21/2019Participant in University Park, Il
This program has changed my life. After my loss I was lost. I did not know how I would make it from moment to moment. I was sad, angry, and suicidal. This program answered a lot of the questions about grief/loss that were unanswered for me. Although I still have moments of sadness and anger, with this program I am equipped to manage my actions and thoughts in a healthy way.
