Testimonials For Support Groups
I came into the program thinking that I didn't have any unresolved grief or loss, but I learned that this Grief Recovery Method encompasses so much more than death or divorce. I realized that I was holding compacted painful feelings and experiences from my childhood, and that my relationship with a family member was still strained and suffering as a result of that loss of trust. This program encouraged me to consider and discuss those experiences, and to ultimately find a sense of completion in that relationship. I came away feeling a sense of lightness, as well feeling gratitude for the facilitators who listened to me and supported me through this process.

The system worked well for me. Despite the recent and still painful death of Mother I realized that the program helped me forgive and apologize to my Father and understand our relationship.

It has helped me recognize that the effects of my losses has hindered me for so many years. And it has helped me gain a perspective and understanding. And has helped me gain a better insight to begin my healing process. Thank you for bringing this group to VSP.

Yes, the program has worked for me. I was able to let go of some brokenness, long suffering sorrow, and grief. I've learned to be a better listener and more of those who are grieving. Thank you, I look forward to sharing my experience with others.

It's helped me to understand myself and my journey of continuing healing process and not be defined by my past.

I was able to give that space for the grief and hold that space for that unfinished emotion. This also allowed me to understand that when that space is created it can continue regardless where I'm at in life. Plus it removed the mask where I didn't have to hide behind unfinished emotions.

This was one of the most useful groups I've taken (I've taken a lot). The method used proved to be accessible and effective. I feel a tremendous sense of closure from the work I've done using The Grief Recovery Method. Thanks!

Eye opener on how to apply 'common sense' and correct the 'standard' of grief responses to proper, compassionate LISTENING. Thank you!

It made me realize that my very first grief incident affected my entire adult life because I didn't know how to process my loss.

I am a recovery addict, suicide attempt survivor and I am Bi Polar. I have spent countless hours in therapy. Nothing has helped me in a way that the grief recovery has. Since completing it my life has changed in so many positive ways. It’s like I am no longer carrying a bag of pain a regret around. This was an amazing experience.

I initially took a one day class with the intention of learning about the misconceptions of grief. As a dental hygienist I often have patients that are experiencing grief from loss. I wanted to learn how I could better serve them. I learned specific ways to do this however I didn’t anticipate the personal journey I was about to begin. I learned that even after years of counseling I still had unresolved grief and a broken relationship because of it. The program does what years of counseling didn’t. It gave me hands on tools to resolve grief and the tools to mend a struggling relationship. It identifies what you couldn’t see before. While intense at times it’s important to follow the program to the end. When followed it can be life changing. It’s definitely made an impact in my life. Thanks to Joel-Ann Mothersille for her dedication to each one of us.

I have piece of mind now, knowing that life will continue and I want to be a part of that. I will never forget the relationship, but needed something to help me cope.
