I am still in early stages of grief, but I now better understand my feelings and I can now deal with my feelings.

I feel this program is a perfect fit for me and my losses. I learned so much of this that I now can do more relationship graphs and letters to come to completion. I also have been praying about getting certified at some point.

Really helped me to learn how to process emotions, and not stuff them down.

Grief Recovery Method showed me how to look inside myself and unlock my feelings vice keeping them inside under the mask. Given me a deeper understanding of grief and loss. It also provided coping tools that have been so helpful to share with my family. The process was very intense for me and I’m very grateful for my coach. Maryna Dobro made me feel like I had a safe space to deal with my feelings. She was kind, caring and thoughtful. Thank you

The good-bye letter worked very well with the use of the graphs constructed during the course.
Support Groups03/14/2023Participant in Centerville, SD
Writing that letter at the end and then reading it outloud (through the tears) helped to release the grief I was holding in. I didn't realise how much that grief was affecting me until it was gone. The only thing we didn't do that we should've was burn the letters at the end!

At first I felt skeptical about being able to complete the relationship I did, but by the end I did feel complete and now a little bit later I feel completely okay with that relationship. Our facilitator instructed us to trust the program and process, and it really did work wonderfully for me. I highly suggest my facilitator Nicole Steinberg.

This program helped me look for and identify specific feelings/emotions that were associated with specific areas where communications had not been complete for me. I also saw this happen over time with one of my group partners who started out just with anger, but at the end was able to identify specific feelings. For him I believe the program helped him significantly in learning to translate his anger into more relevant feelings that he could then address.

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.

Now my life is moving in the right direction and learning how to deal with loss has been AMAZING! Our therapist was truly awesome and very patience all the way thu.

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!
