Testimonials For Support Groups
Debbie was a guiding force and friend from the time we met initially through the 8+ weeks of our program. This program changed my life. As hard as it was some weeks and as many times as I wanted to give up, she encouraged me to continue towards a place of healing and peace. I was able to not only heal after the unexpected death of my mother and best friend, but I was able to grieve the loss of my marriage that ended in divorce years ago and for the dreams I had for that life. Until this grief recovery workshop, I didn’t realize that although I had been through counseling, I was still harboring feelings of anger and hurt. I can look ahead instead of focusing on the past. Although I will never get over losing my mother, I am now able to focus on the happy and beautiful memories instead of the painful ones. Don’t get me wrong, I still cry and get upset and miss her every single day, but I know that these feelings and occurrences are my normal. I cry less than I used too and the pain although a constant within me is a mere fraction of what it once was. Thank you, Debbie and GRW.

This program has helped me with my recent loss, my wife, and it will also help me with past and future losses of any kind. The Relationship graph and the Completion Letter will certainly make a huge difference. Thank You

The first three chapters of the book were most meaningful to me. Grief at this level was something I was unfamiliar with, thankfully, and it helped me tremendously learning the basics. That what I was feeling was not unusual, and to be patient with myself and others as we worked it.

The structure, format and group setting really helped facilitate a feeling of safety and the ability to dive into my grief. I grew up in a family system that didn't support sharing pain or grief, so I found all this tremendously helpful. Having the structure and the tools for future work is fantastic as well.

The program helped me heal from past grief

The program gave me the tools to use where I can apply to many other losses in my life. It has shown me there are many people who grew up not being able to show their emotions and that is just not right. We need to express ourselves. This program will also help in other areas in my life such as personal relationships. I would recommend the grief recovery method.
