I have been able to "let some things go" that have been holding me back. I also have had many "ah ha moments" in looking back and linking similar patterns in myself. Thank you for a beautiful experience!

In a few years there were several major losses in my life. Working through the GR method I was able to gain better understanding of the relationships, how to work thru to completion and the tools to complete all losses in the past and address present & future concerns effectively.

It has left me with some more ways to work through my continuing feelings of sadness over the loss of my mother. I know I can work through these when I am ready.

After completing this program I looked at things in a much different way. Becoming a processing Plant and not a holding tank for my emotions sets a great example for my child and teaches him to process his grief in a healthy way. I believe I am more compassionate towards others and recognizing that Not all grief looks the same but everyone feels it a 100%. I am so very grateful for Val.

I had approximately 2 years of therapy prior to going to grief recovery. The therapy was intense. It was extremely helpful however I still suffered greatly from guilt. This program was able to get me past that. I do still have moments of guilt but they pass and don't consume me like they used to. There is something so rewarding about taking the action for your own recovery that I didn't receive in one on one therapy. Scharain did an excellent job of walking us through this journey and her empathy makes her a natural leader in this field.

The program has helped me recover from unresolved grief issues from a family member's death. In each week of this program I learned many skills that I will use through the rest of my life. I have found peace with a huge loss and I will now work on others that I discovered while working through the program. Thank you, Grief Recovery Institute and the wonderful program facilitators I worked with in this amazing program.

My Outlook on life has changed, and for the better. I now notice many instances if unresolved grief and response to loss. I feel empowered with actually knowing what to do about it. There are 3 things I would add to the classes, and or GRM... to make the process more assessable to different learning styles and capability: a. In homework reading assignments, give several specific questions each representative of a different chunk of information that me the student/participant has to look for, even if we can't ir no time to read much on task, we learn from the targeted hunt. b. More visuals, although the book is really great, rich with headings and checklists. c. Corresponding resource or link to audio recording or podcast, and video (even YouTube) for 1 to 3 min vignette so later and between each class, I can hear what you are teaching. Thank you. Hoping to find more people who know ... GRM is a Godsend
