I like how it challenged me to look deeper. The fact that I have the book and the homework also means that I can look back over it in future when dealing with other situations that deal with grief.

Having the time and space to work through the trauma and grief. Knowing I was in a safe, non-judgments and confidential environment helped me get to the trauma, and deal with the stuck feelings that prevented me from moving on. I felt listened to and understood

The program has let me release a deep hurt. I had a very controlling and demanding mother and had convinced myself that she did not love me. Doing a relationship graph for my relationship with her really helped me to love her and also acknowledge and let go of the hurt I was carrying. This was all the more important because my wonderful husband, who did love me, dropped dead suddenly of a brain stem aneurysm in 2011 and I was feeling like I was all alone in the universe and so angry at my mother and it was just paralyzing. Now that I have worked through the program with Richard and Dana, I am at peace. I am doing great at work, I suddenly have a full social life, and I am in a healthy relationship. None of this would have been possible for me in the state I was in prior to doing the Grief Recovery program. I also appreciated learning how to listen to others compassionately.

I chose to explore the relationship with my father and I absolutely loved doing it, it allowed me to say things I would've never said to him in reality, good and bad. But I believe that this will prove the quality of our relationship going forward

This program has given me many tools to help not only myself but also my family members who are experiencing a loss. I have a lot more to learn but this was a great start and I love that everything I learn from this experience I can also pass on to others.

Deena was very intutive, she is so easy to talk to. I would recommend her and this program to anyone who is in need of grief recovery or pet loss. During this program I had learned a lot about greif and techinques to help me cope. I would do it again for sure if I am in need in the future.

The program and director help me to understand things I’ve heard and what is actually helpful vs not helpful. It also helped me to look back at my relationship with my loss and close certain feelings attached.

This program helped me recover and say goodbye to long-term grief I was carrying for over 10 years. I feel lighter inside and now know how to deal with loss in the future. This method is well worth knowing and it helps to have someone guide you through it each week as you process your feelings in a safe and supported way.

I feel a great relief after participating in this program. The hands-on activities brought everything together for me, which had previously been missing during my experiences in other types of groups and individual therapy. I am considering becoming a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist so I can help spread this fantastic program.

Labrina was absolutely outstanding and very professional in presenting the information to the program participants and making sure everyone had the time to express their feelings and she did not force any one to do or say anything that they didn't feel comfortable saying. She set the tone for our environment to be a very safe space to be open and honest with ourselves. Thank you Labrina for being the beautiful person that you are.

The program helps uncover some of the things that we unknowingly internalize and do that stop recovery process. It makes me think about different things that I didn't do in the past including how to address guilt feelings.

Once I wrote my completion letter and had Ms. Reid there to coach me through that process, I felt a great sense of relief. I can now walk away with her advice and remember how it helped me in that moment. After her coaching, I ripped up the letter and relationship graph with more confidence and conviction.

I did not realize how much grief I was carrying. In looking at grief from a new perspective, I was able to see many situations I have been holding on to. Some of them I have been carrying on purpose, but there are also situations that I hold without even having an intent to carry them. I was able to let go of some very hard feelings about losing my mom. On top of that, during this same time, I was able to look at my relationship with my spouse in a new way. I will do grief work on that relationship, but I have come to appreciate my spouse in new ways since I have started examining my grief. I learned A Lot. Overall, it was a very good experience. I have recommended it to others already.

Helped me say goodbye to my deceased mother, and address 2-3 traumatic episodes during high school. Was finally able to say I forgive, not forgotten, but able to say goodbye!

The program helped me identify some not so obvious losses in my life. It also helped me to realize and understand the idea of wanting a relationship to have been different, better or more affects my ability to move through my grief. The exercises culminating in the completion letter were very beneficial in helping me voice my part in my relationship with my son who died and to make my apologies, to forgive and to say things I needed to say.

I have broader thoughts about the loss that I was experiencing. I have changed my manner of addressing others about their loss _grief. I am re focusing on my feelings, emotions and thoughts about death, the deceased, and my heart break.
