I did okay, but I think I still need to work on it.

It enabled me to deal with a difficult divorce memory, so I could put it behind me, and carry on with my life.

I just finished my first relationship. The training was excellent. However, I think the book needs to be rewritten and edited to omit some potential confusion and create a more precise, well-written explanation of what the student is being asked to do and write. As a professional writer and editor, I think the improvements to the book's writing would go a long way in helping a griever who needs easier-to-follow, more concise and consistent instructions.

The GRM was a solid and steadfast program of strategy, tactic and process! I plan to join an alumni group!

The structure was very helpful. The activities made sense and built on each other. The sessions and the way they were structured and facilitated were outstanding.

I already had very good relations with my spouse and my parents - and had worked out any issues during their lives. So I felt like I was in pretty good shape as far as a lot of things we learned in the book. My biggest issue was dealing with all of the deaths - my spouse first and then my parents and then my dog. But the program did take me to a deeper level as I focused on my husband.

The program helped me with getting over the pain of the loss of a spouse and how to cope with my feelings.

It showed me how to look inside myself and unlock my feelings vice keeping them inside under the mask. I have seen lots of deaths during my military career, but my son/s death brought back many memories from some of the worst events I witness.

Going through The Grief Recovery Method with Robin as my therapist helped me put my relationship with my father at peace. It also helped me discover areas where I took ownership of my actions in order to avoid repeating “mistakes” and the very next day after finishing GRM I woke up feeling happy and grateful. Robin is knowledgeable, gentle, compassionate, and extremely easy to work with even though The Grief Recovery Method is intense. I am very thankful for having Robin as my therapist and I will definitely come back to work with her to heal relationships.

The program has been helpful in many ways. First to come to terms with the various losses a person can experience in his/her life. The cliches we get stuck in about those losses and especially the way we cope with them. Personally to discover and bring to light emotions and losses I havent shared before. The way the program was conducted - the setting , the participants it was very respectful, caring atmosphere conducive to share , open up relate to each others stories. Outstanding job by our coach - Tammy Fleming

In depth look at my emotions, review of all the negative events and positive highlights in the relationship was quite intense for me. During the 6th week I felt overwhelmed by emotions but the closing letter put everything into the peaceful end. I see a difference in my emotional makup with my adopted daughter - the relationship I worked on.

I realise now that grief recovery is a life skill, both in helping others and my own journey. Some grief is so deep it will always be hard, but much of the difficulty I have had with grief is simply that I did not know how to be around grieving people and how to process it within myself. I also did not realise how much grief had accumulated in me over the years and it was healing just to recognise this. It was helpful to not only complete a relationship in the course, but to learn the tools to complete other relationships as well as I am ready to do so.

It helped me to understand how we function with loss/grief, to get personal and deep, how to complete things, it was great experience to have around a really safe and supportive group and an excellent fascilitator

It helped me understand what grief or loss is, why I hadn't been successful in the past in dealing with grief/loss and what I can do differently in the future to recover from grief. It has given me the tools I need to address future losses and also to go back and complete recovery of loss in the past. Thank you!

I had no idea what I was getting into nor how much I needed it. After the first class, and reading just a little bit of the book, the light bulbs started to go off...how much I need this, my friends and family, EVERYONE! The skills and information is simple but I've never come across it before. Gold.

I recently finished the program and it helped me understand my feelings and how to complete them. The process was an emotional roller coaster for me. However, I loved my facilitator. She was kind, caring and thoughtful. She made me feel like I had a safe space to deal with my feelings. She defiantly gets 5 stars.

I truly felt lighter as I sorted my grief, honestly considered its impact, and shared my apologies, forgives, and significant emotional statements. This process brought clarity and intentionality in examining my thoughts and feelings. It’s been another piece in the puzzle in evaluating the impact of trauma, PTSD, abuse, loss, anxiety, and depression.

This program really helped me with my grief process. The atmosphere is very good and I felt like I could speak my mind and not be judged. I was heard and I listened. I very much enjoyed this program.

The Program worked relatively well in my opinion helped me cope and understand myself a lot more better along with coping my personal losses,It helped me a lot getting through specific things and making me work on myself or work on the things that can help my mental health the group was very good and I recommend it to anyone who have their own struggles regarding from relationship losses to even little things as moving or losing a pet or friend this group would help you a lot in my and others opinion I highly recommend taking it

Great information with skills building to help come to closure with grief from death and various losses.

Provided a format that was helpful, ie, loss graph and relationship graph. Pairing with a partner who maintained a safe space and did not interrupt my process was helpful. Writing the letter with statements that Marie provided for guidance was very helpful. The book was inadequate in providing this. Also, I think it’s inappropriate to be advised by the authors that to hand over a Kleenex when the partner needs one or being told in the book that wiping away your tears when listening to your partner signals that crying is not ok. That’s silly. I will be recommending this course with Marie as facilitator.
