I know myself and realize that I probably wouldn’t have done the work without a class to provide that accountability. Had already read the book on my own. We just finished a week ago, so I think I will need more time to evaluate how the program has worked for me.

As I said earlier, I’ve been through grief counseling and another grief group; they were very helpful during my first year; however after nearly five years my husband passed, there was still a lot of emptiness, regret, and anger even though I was moving on..someone new in my life and retirement...the anger persisted. GR really opened my eyes to the MANY losses in my life I never really dealt with and helped provid the breakthroughs and understanding the angers I was carrying in my back pocket making it difficult to have closure over his death...GR has given me hope as self forgiveness, forgiveness, and healing are now in progress.❤️ Outstanding!

It allowed me to bring feelings to surface that that I didn't know was there. It also made me realize major things that I always pushed aside.

It has helped me to learn how to find the missteps or disbelief in society as how you are to react to tragic events. It is OK to have sorrow and not feel guilty about it.

The grief recovery method helped me to realize that grief is not only about death of a person. There are so many grief losses. I learned how to cope with my inner feelings and what was amazing, I learned what STERBS were to which I didn't know about. It has taught me that I can cry out and not have to worry about what others have to say. It gave me a safe space to be myself and not to be ashamed of who I am and what I was going through while grieving. I learned to forgive myself and everyone that I hurt, too. I really enjoyed the grief recovery specialists, they made me feel comfortable throughout the whole session. This method helped me to heal my broken-heart and to feel free and be able to move forward with my life. I will do it over and over again.

My loss occurred after having recently moved from my hometown, away from my family and having quit my job, which I learned were also losses and had quite the bombardment effect in my life. We are getting ready to move again, and completing this course before leaving has really helped me be prepared to leave the area feeling free and clear and not at all resentful for the loss. I hope I can help my young son be prepared to leave and accept the change and newness that this move will bring.
