I feel emotionally equipped to moved beyond old feelings and continue to address other losses. As soon as I read my letter yesterday, I felt so much lighter and capable of setting healthy boundaries.

Going through the GRM process has helped me to look at a relationship that greatly impacted me as a child. I was able to see the person more as a human being which to my inner child was a monster. When I wrote my recovery letter, I felt like the ache in my belly soften, and I felt empowered to honor myself, now as an adult.

Sense of release from within.

I was unsure how recovery was actually going to feel when it was all said and done. Going through the steps helped me identify areas I needed to focus on, and then equipped me with the tools to identify unsaid hurt, properly cope, and say goodbye to the pain. I am happy to say that it has helped me regain the fond memories of my loved one and enabled me to speak of her without breaking down. My heart feels lighter.

Many people are concerned about trying to deal with their grief. But the process that Charmissa uses helps you work through your grief allowing you to address the pain which is very important. The GRM is worth every tear, and every ounce of effort. As Charmissa would say “it’s some hard heart work”. Without realization I have recommended Charmissa to so many people. Her personality, tone and demeanor is amazing. She is very charismatic, personable and comforting. I would highly recommend her to each and every person who not only needs assistance with grief recovery but to anyone who could use some guidance.

I have been able to review my past relationships which had pain with a much deeper perspective. The program taught me the benefits of honesty and truthfulness in approaching any relationship especially where loss is involved. Knowing the recovery elements has been an eye opener on my way to recovery and healing from past and present losses. Tremendous method.

When I first came to the grief recovery session, I was dealing with the bereavement of a parent. The process made me realise different losses in my life that I had locked up. The process helped me to talk about them and provided me with the skills to deal with them.

Outstanding. The course taught me so many more aspects of being there for people in my world as well as affirming some of the ways I already support people in my realm. I am extremely grateful for having participated with Rev. Toni.

The program taught me how to create a relationship graph and write a letter. I think both of these were great tools to think back on the loss so I was able to process the loss. The program did bring up other feelings/thoughts I had about other losses which caused anxiety and PTSD for things that I really didn't feel were appropriate for me to work on in the group. I feel like some of these were things I would need to address with my therapist such as childhood abuse.

I learned coping skills and how to better recognize unhealthy releases. I also learned how to confront my issues head on.

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

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.

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.

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.
