It has helped me be a better listener. I’ve learned there are more types of grief than just someone dying. Don’t assume you know what someone is feeling and/or going through.

This program definitely helped me to better understand how people (myself included) process grief differently and how to be supportive of others in their grief by just being there for them but not assuming how they feel, or telling them how I think they should feel, or that I can understand what they are feeling. My faith has greatly helped me in processing any grief in my life but I haven’t had to deal with the losses that many people have had, and everyone’s faith life, faith journey, and beliefs are not the same; they are as different as the types and degrees of loss and grief that they experience. This program helped me to realize that, and I believe it would benefit others greatly as they try to come to terms with grief and loss in their life.

It helped me remember my entire relationship with the person that I was grieving about - both the fun times and the difficult times - and put some sense of closure in those not-so-happy moments during that relationship.

I would say this program has allowed me to successfully express my feelings and I have learned how to help people when they are grieving. I learned what not to do when someone is grieving. I have released years of hurt and pain. I realized losing my job, the death of a long-time co-worker, and the loss of a long-term relationship all around the same time took a toll on me. I am still a work in progress, however; I feel myself getting stronger every day.

Learned that I was already using many of the tools, but I have refined how I apply some of them.

I was apprehensive about even beginning the process. Steph and Shirley made me feel very welcome and as if I was there to help them as well as help myself. I was very skeptical at first when we discussed the myths of grief, but decided to continue on. I didn't realize how much I really needed this approach to recovering. My family and friends notice a definite change in me for the better. As for me, I am not crying myself to sleep every night anymore and am actually getting sleep! Steph and Shirley are absolutely wonderful! They are the most compassionate and loving people. They shared their personal stories so openly and honestly which made it easier for me to open up. I truly was doubtful about this method until I tried it. I have to admit that there were times I didn't want to do the homework. Even with my half-hearted0 participation that week, I still felt the results. I am happy I stuck with it to the end. It was very freeing and I really do feel a weight has lifted. I will continue to use the amazing tools I've learned. This was truly an answer to my prayers.

The program has helped solve issues I have had for 20 years. Since my husbands' sudden death, he died on the way to the hospital in the ambulance.

This book did not give me any profound knowledge but the knowledge I had known organized to help me grieve and begin the healing. It organized what were thoughts that were being clouded by emotions. Very grateful.
