Given me the tools I need to begin to accept the great losses in my life. My son and my mother have both passed, and this program has taught me how my past relationship with them affects my grief.

I was able to work through a ruptured relationship with a parent in the group. I subsequently went through on my own and worked through my ruptured relationship with my other parent. The structure is super clear and helpful. It really supported me in reflecting on the positive and negative aspects of the relationships and enabled to me to come to a place of completion with grief I've been carrying for decades.

There were so many misunderstood facts about grief. I learned so much. I truly benefited from being able to talk about my personal emotions and feelings without being judged or having to receive inappropriate comments or suggestions. The group was wonderful. Joan is a consummate coach.

For years, I carried the pain of the loss of my Mother. I come from a home of abuse and with that come also much pain. That too revolved around my mom. She was no so much the abuser as she too was being abused, but as a child I never could understand why she did not protect me. Taking this course helped me to see that she did the best she knew to do given her circumstances. This course helped me to forgive, apologize, and acknowledge her in ways I would have never thougt before. This course gave me the tools required to heal and let go of pain that I have carried deep inside for many years. I will recommend this course to others becuase we all suffer from loss and grief.

I felt a weight lifted off of me. I added some information to my letter of completion that I had not been willing/able to express before. I believe it was the trust of the group was so supportive.

This program helped me identify where my grief was coming from so that I could deal with the grief. It helped me identify and understand my STERBs. It helped me to understand why I had so much anxiety around Thanksgiving. It helped me to identify the triggers that led to my depression and anxiety. The class helped me to let go of these burdens and be freed from them.

The programme has helped me reflect on all aspects of grief. It has supported me in working through my relationship with my mum who passed away over 20 years back and helped me to take action on items that had been left unsaid. Things that, while working through the programme, were clearly still weighing heavy and affecting everyday decisions. I feel I now have the tools and ongoing support to work through other losses that hold me back.

Working through issues that have haunted me for years, have now been laid to rest. A very freeing experience. It was difficult to start with, not to say anything in our breakout room but soon saw the point of allowing the other person space and time to release what they had to say and also for myself. STERBS have become a watch phrase to ensure empathy of others and knowing they are grieving. I have since written other completion letters and found a peace within which previously I have wrestled with. The facilitator was excellent in the way they handled difficult situations and was empathetic when the need arose. Our sessions were online and week by week the facilitator would share how to use the technology in front of us! We had laughter, tears, virtual hugs and flowers given; all over zoom!
