The program taught me a lot about grief and gave very clear instructions and guidance on how to work through grief and death.

I had not really thought there was any unfinished communication with my mum, but doing the grief recovery program allowed me to see there was. I switched to completion of that relationship instead of the one I had planned. Doing the relationship graph and writing the letter has helped me get out of my head into my emotions and complete the grief I had held on to and given me courage to complete other relationships

The structure was very helpful. The activities made sense and built on each other. The sessions and the way they were structured and facilitated were outstanding.

I already had very good relations with my spouse and my parents - and had worked out any issues during their lives. So I felt like I was in pretty good shape as far as a lot of things we learned in the book. My biggest issue was dealing with all of the deaths - my spouse first and then my parents and then my dog. But the program did take me to a deeper level as I focused on my husband.

The program helped me with getting over the pain of the loss of a spouse and how to cope with my feelings.

It showed me how to look inside myself and unlock my feelings vice keeping them inside under the mask. I have seen lots of deaths during my military career, but my son/s death brought back many memories from some of the worst events I witness.

Going through The Grief Recovery Method with Robin as my therapist helped me put my relationship with my father at peace. It also helped me discover areas where I took ownership of my actions in order to avoid repeating “mistakes” and the very next day after finishing GRM I woke up feeling happy and grateful. Robin is knowledgeable, gentle, compassionate, and extremely easy to work with even though The Grief Recovery Method is intense. I am very thankful for having Robin as my therapist and I will definitely come back to work with her to heal relationships.

I had no idea what I was getting into nor how much I needed it. After the first class, and reading just a little bit of the book, the light bulbs started to go off...how much I need this, my friends and family, EVERYONE! The skills and information is simple but I've never come across it before. Gold.

I recently finished the program and it helped me understand my feelings and how to complete them. The process was an emotional roller coaster for me. However, I loved my facilitator. She was kind, caring and thoughtful. She made me feel like I had a safe space to deal with my feelings. She defiantly gets 5 stars.

The program has been helpful in many ways. First to come to terms with the various losses a person can experience in his/her life. The cliches we get stuck in about those losses and especially the way we cope with them. Personally to discover and bring to light emotions and losses I havent shared before. The way the program was conducted - the setting , the participants it was very respectful, caring atmosphere conducive to share , open up relate to each others stories. Outstanding job by our coach - Tammy Fleming

In depth look at my emotions, review of all the negative events and positive highlights in the relationship was quite intense for me. During the 6th week I felt overwhelmed by emotions but the closing letter put everything into the peaceful end. I see a difference in my emotional makup with my adopted daughter - the relationship I worked on.

I realise now that grief recovery is a life skill, both in helping others and my own journey. Some grief is so deep it will always be hard, but much of the difficulty I have had with grief is simply that I did not know how to be around grieving people and how to process it within myself. I also did not realise how much grief had accumulated in me over the years and it was healing just to recognise this. It was helpful to not only complete a relationship in the course, but to learn the tools to complete other relationships as well as I am ready to do so.

It helped me to understand how we function with loss/grief, to get personal and deep, how to complete things, it was great experience to have around a really safe and supportive group and an excellent fascilitator
Support Groups12/01/2022Participant in Zoom, Zoom
It helped me understand what grief or loss is, why I hadn't been successful in the past in dealing with grief/loss and what I can do differently in the future to recover from grief. It has given me the tools I need to address future losses and also to go back and complete recovery of loss in the past. Thank you!

The program was extremely educational concerning grief and the myths and it was interesting to learn since there is a lack of discussion about the topic. In terms of the actual grief recovery, again, the program was extremely helpful and I was able to understand my grief and I could 100% state that the program helped me recover from it. The only gripes I had about the program were the people in the small group I was assigned. I felt awkward around them and I didn’t feel that they supported me nor listened to me while we were discussing such strong and heavy topics.

The program has helped me deal with my emotions, with knowing that it is okay for me to feel how I’m feeling. My prospective on certain things has changed for the better. I feel that the program help me so much on dealing with my grief and I’m so grateful that I got to have this experience.

The program was Outstanding I wouldn’t have asked for a better group and Johanna Parra was amazing at showing us so many different methods on how we can grow as individuals and not be overcome by the obstacles we have had to face in our life. This was an amazing experience and I would recommend this for anyone and everyone who needs the help of an amazing organization such as the program I was so honored to be in.

I truly felt lighter as I sorted my grief, honestly considered its impact, and shared my apologies, forgives, and significant emotional statements. This process brought clarity and intentionality in examining my thoughts and feelings. It’s been another piece in the puzzle in evaluating the impact of trauma, PTSD, abuse, loss, anxiety, and depression.
