My facilitator was great-she showed by example how to use these tools. She's very empathetic and created a safe space where I felt comfortable being honest to myself, to her, and to the group members about my feelings.

Pastor Steve did a wonderful job explaining each session, week by week. He was dedicated to making clear that this was not always going to be a "walk in the park", that it would take courage and honesty on my part (and probably on his, too). It was a program of shared stories between two people who have gone through similar experiences, while at the same time "different".. I feel like we learned from one another, and that the spotlight wasn't always on me. He let me take the program at my own pace as much as possible; however, I knew that there was material that had to be covered, and that it would require hard work as we progressed week to week. I probably could have "quit" any time, without shame, and that Pastor Steve would heard me out. I never felt pressured to continue, except for the expectations I put on myself to see it to the end. I am so glad that I did, and have the courage to face another day! This program is not a "cure" for grief. It gives us so many tools to help us deal with life as we go forward with hope for the future. There will be more grief and loss down the road . . for all of us, but this recovery journey is a lasting resource for those of us who walk it to the end, as we face the challenges and heartbreaks that will inevitably find us.

The facilitators like I said before were amazing!!! They made this program work and comfortable for us all. They made everyone feel so welcome and they truly showed they cared about everyone there. They would explain the assignments well and break them down so it wasn't so overwhelming I feel that this program was very helpful for me I didn't realize I needed it just as bad as anyone else. Writing the letter I could feel a side of relief inside. I am so glad I did this program and met some wonderful people

I thought Pat was very sweet and a good listener. The only reason I rated her excellent instead of outstanding is I don’t have anyone to compare her to. I think she did an excellent job!

The facilitator was excellent. Her caring got me through very difficult times. She understood what needed to be said, or what not to say. She gave excellent directions and helped throughout the course.

Carla was really great to work with. Her professional etiquette and well meaning application of the book material as well as her own approach and explanations about the grieving process were extremely helpful and appreciated. She has a knack for what she is taking on and I am more than pleased with the outcome she has offered to me. Additionally I felt that others in the group did well with her. There was an effective group dynamic that benefited all.

Robin was amazing! She is such a caring and compassionate person to help walked through each of the steps. I felt so at ease to be comfortable and myself about anything with her. I had no idea that grief would be so hard. It was truly a gift to be able to walk through this method!

It taught me about grief. It gave me a safe space to come into contact with my grief and give it a voice and express it. It was revelatory experience and I felt emotional freedom and greater clarity at the end.

Ben Brady is a great man I couldn't express with words how much he has changed my life! He has helped me in my time of need. My fiance left me last year months before our wedding and although I ended up choosing not to do my loss with her, Ben has always been there to speak to me and to help guide me with anything I struggled with. I will 100% be doing another grief and recovery course with Ben. I know he is someone I really want to keep learning from in life and his guidance has never failed me. He truly cares and loves me and I can feel it. I really feel I would have been lost in this world going through this alone. I will keep going to him for life advice for as long as I'm able to.

The program has helped me with one relationship of loss and grief. I can now work through other relationships using the same system.
