The program has given me tools that I can use to work through other losses that I have experienced, and I can now say I am better prepared for grieving future losses. It’s good preparation for a healthy life.

The Grief Recovery Method was an absolute game changer for me. Crystal, my facilitator and now dear friend, helped me through my loss and grief of the death of my wife. With Crystal's help, as well as the program outline, I was able identify and address my loss and really come to terms with what I was dealing with. My quality of life has improved greatly. I'm in a better mood, I see things more positively and i'm no longer in the dark place that I was in when I first showed up for my sessions. Thank you so much!

At first, the method appeared too simple to be able to adequately address the depth of my loss. I found the process to be uncomfortable yet it brought about a profound shift in my life, particularly toward the last third of our meetings. I now feel that I have completion about this grief, and I am profoundly thankful.

Before committing to the program, I felt lost I had so many emotions and feelings that held me back everyday. Elva knew I could benefit from this program, and I am so greatful for it. I worked through alot of feeling from my past, all while making shocking realizations about my present and future. After the program my left completely changed, I had the courage to leave a toxic relationship and went back to school. Today, I am proud to say I am a nurse, I truly don't think I could have gotten here without Elva and this program!

As a participant, I found great relief from actually writing the completion letter and finally saying Goodbye. I could barely choke those words out, but it made an enormous difference.

This Program has helped me pay attention to my own emotional pain and grief and stop minimizing it. I have learned to be a more caring and compassionate person in a world that truly only seems to value the strong and at times the "mean". I have become aware of forgiving and letting go of pain as it seems to be all around no matter where we go people hurting others and being rude and competitive when all they need to do is love and give and shine a light instead of put a blanket on it.

I learned specific actions I could take to become complete with the losses I've experienced in my life. I plan on doing the process for all the members in my family, including my former spouse, and my 2 children, whom have chosen to live with their father in West Africa.

I lost my husband from suicide just over a year ago. This group has honestly helped me to better understand that what I have been going through and that it is okay. I appreciate this so much and will tell others how much it has helped me.

Gave me an opportunity to verbalize my feelings with others. Provided me with tools that I will continue to use when needed.

The program not only helped with my grief but also uncovered the reason behind powerful childhood nightmares and hoarding tendencies that I realized, when doing the Loss History Graph, began after my family had moved to a new state for the third time.

I can identify the specific components of my loss. This helps me process in detail and understand what I felt and why. I see my part in the loss,too. Also, I can articulate to family why I felt this as a deep loss when they said to get over it. I’m learning to find some relief from my pain and believe I can continue to progress.

Mike was very professional & kind ~ He listened & really cared for each person in the 12 week class ~ This program prepared me, as much as possible for the passing of my husband, Tom on May 12th, 2019 ~ This class was not the easiest class I have ever taken; however, one of the Most Rewarding & I highly recommend The Grief Recovery class with Mike ~ The last day of the class, Mike gave us a visual that has changed my life & I have shared it many times & will remember it forever ~ Everyone that has heard me tell the visual, have said "WOW I never thought of it this way & it will help me move forward" * Thank you Mike for your care & understanding of each person's journey, because that is what life is about ~ We all have our own journey; however, the grief we feel can be felt by all with, which ties us together with the understanding of the Grief Recovery class :-) Be well, Be Still & Know there is help :-)

During this program, I have revealed the blocks to living my fullest life, that I was not aware of, caused by grief. I now feel that I have the tools to live the remainder of my life free of regrets and with enthusiasm.
