Before I participated in this program, I had terrible feelings and memories about my mother and about the way she treated me. The program helped me to remember some good memories of our relationship and now I don't immediately go into a litany of the ways she abused me when someone asks me about her, which I had done before participating in this program. I have more peace with my memories and do not feel as angry about my mother and about my upbringing like I formerly did. The Counselor, Danielle Gohn, was gentle, kind and empathetic during the whole experience. She was understanding and very knowledgable about the program and on the subject of grief and loss and was always available to discuss anything I needed to discuss.

In many ways. I suppose the best way to describe is it taught me the to know the wrong ways to grieve and how to forgive and accept the ways things were and how they can be in the future. The main thing I struggle with now is a sense of worth. A purpose. But as a whole the program and Annette helped me immensely. Annette is a friend for life I feel. If I need her help in the future im sure she would be there for me

Being a structured program made it easy to follow & be more effective. Those in the group had experienced various forms of losses. This gave me the opportunity to see & listen to what others were going through & how they were or were not coping. It was eye opening. The group was small & we broke down into smaller groups when discussing/presenting assignments. This made it easier for many to speak & share with ease. Although each loss was unique there were many common threads. A lot was learned just from listening. After eight weeks, I had gotten to know many young people who shared their stories. You could see & feel the compassion that was present. I hope that I will be able to share with others who suffer a loss. I’m very thankful to have gotten the opportunity to attend. Thank you! Great program!

It's too soon to know how the program has worked for me. I enrolled with an open heart and mind. I learned a lot of new things and I'm looking forward to completing other losses/relationships. I hope doing this will bring me relief from the pain and anguish I feel over my most recent loss.

The grief recovery method helped me to process emotional work that wasn’t done with conventional therapy. I recommend this program to people who I know could benefit from it.

The program helped me identify some past issues that I did not realize still effected me. The loss of my husband unexpectedly prompted me to attend the classes. I was able to express some unfinished feelings and thoughts and that was a comfort to me.

I dealt with my dad's passing. There were lots of things I never thought about until I took this course. This course has made me realize my dad is gone and saying goodbye was the hardest part. I found the course very challenging and insightful. It was tough I might continue the process for my mom

On Valentines day I went to the cemetery with roses, it was the very first time I was able to without crying, I can now look at pictures and videos without crying and just be happy for the memory, what a true blessing.

She helped me decide which loss to choose first. Her compassion and understanding allowed me to be able to trust the process. I lost my wife and daughter in an auto accident 8 years ago. I have felt more centered and more at peace since the completion of the first pass thru. I have at least one more pass to go thru with my daughter. The process was emotionally hard and difficult at times but understanding and learning was worth it. At times it was difficult to control my emotions on completing some steps. But finding out I wasn’t alone in that helped a great deal.

The program has brought out some things that have been forgotten about, good and bad. I found that it brought out things from my sub conscience. It's good to say things out loud with another person listening. Things that you didn't realize had such an impact on your life. It was effective to make the life and relationship graphs. The letter that was written at the end was a form of release.
