Testimonials For Support Groups
During a difficult period of grief—whether it’s a divorce, the death of a loved one, or another loss—it is so important to have someone nearby who understands how to provide the right support, what to say, what is better left unsaid, and simply to be there, to listen with an open heart. This program showed me how crucial it is to understand and express my emotions, to know that they matter and need to be experienced rather than suppressed. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to open up, process, and let go of my feelings without fear of any negative reaction—I had the absolute right to do so. Not everyone, even the closest people, is ready to truly hear you. We were never taught how to talk about our emotions or how to respond to someone else’s feelings. But this is so important. This program helps recognize that importance and provides the space to experience it, offering a sense of closure. Moreover, the knowledge and skills gained stay with you for a lifetime. Pain, loss, and resentment are things we will inevitably face throughout our lives. This program gives clear guidance on how to ensure we don’t carry that emotional burden, which only grows heavier over time. It is a choice we have. And I am grateful that such a method exists, allowing me to live without fear of future losses—because now I know how to navigate them.

Our Facilitator was definitely outstanding with his skills and compassion for leading The Grief Recovery Method. He is a excellent listener and is able to reflect how I was feeling. He was never judgmental during any of our 8 sessions. I always felt safe and supported during each session. The experience has been helpful for me with recovering the grief of the passing of my daughter.

This program has changed my life! My grief no longer holds my thoughts and feelings captive. I had a safe space with this program to work through this. I feel less burdened and like a weight has been lifted by completing this program! Now, I can sit with the feeling of missing my mom, but not having all the conflicting emotions and feelings attached to it! This program wasn’t hard, but it wasn’t easy. It requires work and you 100% get out of it what you put into it! Jennifer was a wonderful confidant to have to help me with this journey. I am forever grateful to her sharing this program with me!

Heather knows the program well and committed to the principles of total honesty, sharing her experience as appropriate when introducing new topics and exercises. It was comfortable (even while uncomfortable) to share in the group and I felt safe. She demonstrated one skill particularly well: asking questions to allow a griever to get out what they need to without leading them or judging or analyzing.

It encouraged me to recount the experience of the loss of contact with a child and allow me to express my feelings and write a letter to finally withdraw from any lingering grief from that loss.
