Testimonials For Support Groups
The program has enlightened me on several things: 1. How better to interact with those dealing with grief; 2. The steps to take to complete things in relationships that are holding me back; 3. The honor I feel, and can in turn give another by truly listening without any interruption.

I read the book before the class started and was quite skeptical it would work. Yet it did. I have recovered from grief due to - My husband's suicide - My father -- general misogynist among other things - My sister -- toxic law suit after our last parent died. I recognized how I and our family contributed to her angry and hostility and desire to stab us back - Myself -- It's only been 13 days. I hope I have given up my old habits of both putting myself down and also relishing the pain and less-than.

I have attended other grief programs but this program was by far the best. The 8-week course involved reading, homework, and discussion. The process used help me work through the grief of unresolved issues with my relationship with my son but it also helped me understand the different events that happened in my life that caused many unresolved situations that caused deep pain for me. The homework assignments help me develop a process to recognize them then provided a process to help me write a letter to say "I'm sorry" or "I forgive you" and then a way to say Goodbye. When you reach this point, it is very empowering to the soul. I would highly recommend this program to others whether dealing with a death, divorce, or unresolved relationships. Grief affects everyone differently. The tools in this program will help you work through your pain (whatever that may be). You won't be disappointed.

I did not like some of the things we had to write about, but in the end, I really do feel better and more content with my life and looking forward to making the best I can out of my remaining years without my husband.

The process of building a timeline and identifying experiences ordered my thoughts. It was of immense help to do this with the facilitator and another participant. It is so easy to rationalize memories and discount feelings, but when I committed them to paper and saw the faces of the women with me as I talked about them, I realized how much I had pushed myself out of my life. This helped me finish communciations honestly, write a simple decent letter and forgive. The pay off is that immediately it changed my relationship with my mother to something less loaded with need. I also felt free to more adult conversations with my father, and grew a wonderful friendship with him. The grief I thought was attached to divorce was actually the pain of having a mother compete and discount me.

It brought to light and helped me deal with feelings that I had dismissed and buried. It is a great tool for dealing with life's challenges.

This class really made me stop, think, and do the work necessary to heal from the inside out. The work was emotionally hard at times but well worth anything I needed to do to try and deal with my hurts and my grief. I appreciate the focus on the grief as I think many times we can label this as something else and really never heal. I’m very grateful to have read this book, been in my class and completed the process. I really loved the set up and the encouragement. Thank you.

After completing the Letter to my mother, truly I felt that I have said goodbye to those pain in the past. Now even though I still remember them, it does not take over my mind as it used to. I didn't realize how incomplete that relationship was until I I went through the program.

By saying good bye to all the unsaid things I wish I would have said to my son Mark while he was alive has really taken a heaviness off of my heart. My whole being feels so much lighter.
