It has changed the lies and myths that I have been taught! It has taught me valuable listening skills! It has also taught me how not to block people’s feelings while they are sharing their feelings. Most importantly, the homework assignments were difficult, challenging, painful but they allowed me to explore feelings that had been buried and unspoken! They helped me slowly peel off the hurt, anger, guilt and pain! My goal was to find a new norm and release the grief and celebrate the life of my brother with loving memories instead of focusing on the pain! Thanks for helping me discover me again!

It made me more aware of the effect of "loss" on the mental and emotional "self". It provided the "class" method of grief recovery and gave thought on how to continue recovery on a personal/individual basis.

I am a very slow learner, and I definitely have more issues to work on, but I do feel like it helped me learn things about myself, about how to deal with what life throws at me, and I am confident, that I will, one day, be able to smile again.

It helped me face and deal with some aspects of my relationship with my late husband which I had tried to sweep under the rug.

THIS PROGRAM HAS HELPED ME TAKE MOST OF THE PAIN OF THE LOSS, OR LEAST THE STING OF THE LOSS. LEARNT HOW TO PROCESS OTHER LOSSES MOVING FORWARD IN FUTURE.

The program gave me a starting place for my pain of loss. I now have a toolbox to help me to work through the other areas on my losses.
Support Groups12/11/2019Participant in Reno, Nv
The greatest thing about the program was that it provided an outlet for me to express myself and feelings without feeling judged. I worked on my relationship with my mother as opposed to the loss of my father and the program was what made me comfortable to do so. Without it I would have felt like a bad person for needing to deal with my relationship with my mother as opposed to the loss of my father when I will never see him again. The program taught me that there are multiple kinds of losses, and that it was perfectly okay to work on whichever one, no matter the magnitude. I am looking forward to the grad class to complete the process of coping with the loss of my father

Before starting Grief Recovery I felt alone and guilty with some of my decisions that I have made. Once I started the program I started to feel like I was not alone and a lot of people struggle with similar issues. I loved that I had a great support system while coming each week. I was able to work on the loss of my mom and no longer feel guilty for my decisions I have made. The weekly homework truly helped me and now I have all the tools I need to work on other losses I have.

I found Mike to be very knowledgeable, understanding and kind. I went into this group knowing I had to "trust the process/him"...I was so desperate at the beginning, I just felt I had nothing to lose...I HAD to do something. I know now I started this group thinking I was going to be "miraculously cured" and no longer so sad and devastated at the loss of my daughter. As the weeks in the group went on and reading and homework were completed, I realized one of the goals was not to take away the loss/grief but to teach us how to better cope and face life....how to work thru the many faces of grief (of which there are many!). I know my life will never be the same and I will miss Kelli with every breath I take but I feel I now have some "ammunition" to better help me live without her.

It helped me let go of old pain but also helped me see my contribution to the pain. It also gave me a framework and goal of a different, better relationship.

I feel better after completing the course. I learned a lot and feel well on my way to recovery.

I just completed my final Grief Recovery Method class - I am so grateful for everything I learned through this remarkable program. I feel like I will be able to live current in my relationships after grieving a foundational relationship with a less than loved one. Forgiving so I can be free, and saying good-bye to the life-long sadness of wishing that relationship would have been better or more is beautifully freeing. I also gained tools to not only work through other relationships in my past, but I can genuinely and compassionately listen to others who are weighted with grief and loss. Thank you Grief Recovery Method Institute!

It worked out excellently. It helped me tap into some feelings that I had no idea were there.

It has helped me alot.

Coming to this program, I believed I have dealt with a lot of the grief of my divorce. Going through it made me realize how much more I needed to dig deep and get rid of something of the roots that have stayed behind, without even realizing it. Graduating this program I feel so much lighter, a lot of my emotional connection to the ex has disappeared. The way I perceive him has changed, in a good way. I truly believe it made me a better person. A lot of the tools that were taught I will be implementing going forward - probably for the rest of my life.
