Before the program, I suffered 17 months of not being able to move forward from deep anger, hurt & resentment as well as grief following the death of my husband of 55 years. I now have truly let go of those negative feelings & have even been able to forgive & to so say good-bye with love ..... a huge step. I know that there will always be periods of grief & remembrance but I think the tools I now have will help me to focus on the happy memories.

This program gave me some good tools. The book was great to have so that I could go back and re read sections. It helped validate a lot of the emotions and feelings I have been and still do experience. It has given me tools to try to help my family as well.

I am able to feel my feelings, and also express them better, knowing that I can recognize where they come from and why. I feel more comfortable listening to others who are sharing their own feelings, and I know how to be present without saying anything. I look at my life with my departed family member and am able to focus on all the beautiful parts of it, having forgiven, and apologized for instances I used to dwell negatively on. I have already begun to look at other relationships in my life with the same "format" and I am hopeful I will have success with those losses when I do the program again and again. Thank you

It was so powerful and I can’t stress enough how much I wished I had done it sooner.

Maureen was compassionate and was able to set boundaries for group members who were not allowing the flow of grief to come out. She was there when we needed her and often gave us encouragement through messaging throughout the week. Some of the homework assignments were emotionally draining but she assured us that we would be better for it in the end. She was right!

The facilitator was exceptional in teaching and guiding the class throughout the course. She was very confident in the grief work successful results it would bring. She was an authentic example for the class and helped us to continue to make progress each week. She explained the process in great detail and also gave examples to help in the understanding of it. She had incredible wisdom to share. She was encouraging made herself available every step of the way. She was passionately invested in teaching the Grief Recovery Method. She had personally found great success in the Grief Recovery Method and sincerely wanted us all in the class to experience Grief Recovery.

it's early days, as I have only recently completed the program. So I anticipate much more closure/completion as I get farther away from the process, and as I work on other losses. I expect I will get more skilled at identifying and processing the completion of losses as I work through them. My experience was good; I just can't call it Excellent because of my own emotions.

Participating in this program was invaluable to me. It provided insight, and ultimately, relief I don't think I'd have experienced otherwise. Although group participants' individual experiences and grief journeys were different, there was commonality among our losses that made sharing, talking, and listening deeply meaningful. I'm very grateful for this opportunity and the tools it provided me to continue working through, as well as providing closure for, the emotional baggage I've carried, in some cases, for years.

My intention was to attend to aid in the relief of grieving the recent loss of my father. What I ended up working on healing was childhood trauma and abuse by my father's 2nd wife when I was a child. I have lived with a type of anger that was affecting my daily life and this course has helped to release that anger and it has felt so good to feel like I can breathe. My Husband and family have noticed a difference in my emotions and I am so very thankful for being able to find this course. I HIGHLY recommend everyone take this course!!! It is a Godsend! Thank you!

I was not sure going in how this could actually help me. By week three I began feeling the effects of healing strongly beginning to take place. I recommend this course for anyone experiencing any loss. Thank you so much!

A profound experience. The understanding and growth experienced during the 8 weeks was surprising (in a positive way). The changes in thinking and seeing things were subtle really, but also profound. It's interesting to me that the program was both subtle and profound, but the resonates inside of me. I'm very grateful for this program. The facilitators also made all the difference in the world. Their empathy, genuine concern, caring, insightfulness, understanding and knowledge. All very much appreciated.

The program helped me learn that sometimes we don’t understand our frustration, anger, sadness, because we don’t know we are grieving we ignore or block what ever it is that it’s affecting us!! I personally didn’t know I was grieving I found out my negative feelings were because I was grieving.. I found out I was grieving because of everything I released during the classes it hits hard but I’ve healed greatly..

I was able to come to terms with the good and the bad of my relationship with my father.
