Testimonials For Support Groups
I've been through a grief program in the past, but this process went above and beyond in moving you through every part of the healing process, emphasizing the importance and the value of each step along the way. I would highly recommend The Grief Recovery Method.

I don't think this is on the program or the facilitator, but one person in my group had a very hard time tracking and following the steps of the program. It made it challenging for me to engage in listening in a meaningful way. As for me, I had never thought about the fact that I didn't grieve the loss of my father because our relationship was so bad that I just didn't care. As I started the process with another loss in mind, it became very obvious that I needed to work through the completion process with my father first. I am only a few days out from my last session so I am unsure of how it will change my perspective long-term. For now, I feel lighter and for lack of a better word, complete, regarding my father and the grief over his death and loss of hopes and dreams of a close father-daughter relationship.

A better understanding of the grief process.

The program not only helped me complete a major, recent grief in my life, it gave me communication and compassion skills that have made me a better all around person. Most importantly, I’m a better listener which allows me to connect deeper with people I love and care for.

I came to the class a little skeptical about how it could help me. I was pleasantly surprised by how transformative it was for me. The process allowed me to let go of some pain and suffering I had be carrying for a long time. I am grateful to Katie, my class and the grief recovery method. Thank you!

The Grief Recovery Method has changed my life! I feel like a totally different person after my experience. It's the first time in 32 years I was able to be completely honest with myself. I was able to come face to face with many losses in my life. Thanks to this program I have completed my biggest loss in my life to date. It also gave me the opportunity to think about, discuss and come to terms with other losses in my life. I am now eager to get to my "to do" list of my other incomplete losses. I now have the tools and a trusted Facilitator to guide me. Thank you for this amazing experience and the completeness it has given me.

The grief recovery method was life-changing in my situation. Prior to this journey, I was emotionally driven and not treating myself the way that I needed to with grace. With the amazing support of Kari, I am slowly returning to the best version of myself that I can be for me and my family!

grief is a tough process. our group did not all participate in the same way. not all did their homework. it took time. I did the homework and learned a great deal. others found to too hard to dredge up those memories. you get out what you put in. if people think their grief will disappear after taking the course they may be disappointed.

Writing a letter was a form of therapy and a release of any feelings or guilt lingering after the death of my husband. Being his caretaker watching him decline over 10 months brought on its own trauma anger sadness and hopelessness the program to help me deal through it and also Gina with her advice and calm demeanour

I think i've told anyone who will listen about this program! I think about the lessons I've learned on a daily basis, and how backwards the way we learned to deal with grief is. This program has helped me process old emotions but also new ones that come up. I no longer try to 'bury' them, but deal with them in the moment as best I can. I wish everyone could take this program, it would help heal so much unnecessary pain and suffering.

The program ended up working well for me when at first i thought it wasn't going to address my grief and loss which i had been experiencing before during and after moving countries in March of this year. I found the facilitator genuinely open to hearing my concerns and questions around cultural safety Firstly i was struggling with the language and what i experienced to be a very prescriptive, clinical and individualistic approach to addressing a stressful and complex situation. I also felt challenged by some of the language eg: the word “ griever”a totally alien term to my ears which i found was a strange way to describe a grieving soul . For some reason i decided to to forge ahead and complete the course as i instinctively knew i could trust the facilitator who i had known prior to doing the programme… Im so glad i did because i stepped out by choice from familiar territory into an unknown landscape trusting her guidance and in the process it was definitely worth the risk. Thank you so much ill keep using the program for along time to come to work on other areas of my life where there remains unfinished business across a diverse range of relationships…

The graphs were particularly helpful, as was the homework (heartwork). Having to verbalise this during online session was very different to anything else I've experienced in therapy. Was heartwarming to verbalise feelings in a safe place, with no interruptions whilst speaking, and no one trying to "fix" me or give unsolicited advice.
