I used Grief Recovery to process my divorce after 25 years of marriage, 3 children, and 2 business. I learned a lot about grief, myself, and healing. Thank you.

I believe the completion process is an important one. In my culture, we don't really grieve; we just continue on with life. I felt complete in my mind before the program, but the program allowed me to go deeper and find completion with certain emotions from the past about my father. I found value in the timeline and looking at the good and not so good memories, and then using the completion letter to apologize or forgive. I think it's good that I went through this process, vs just continuing on with life. I can't though say that I feel different after the process than before because I didn't feel bad about his transition before hand. What I do really appreciate is that I now have a process I can use with other forms of loss in my life, and that's where I think the benefits will be most deeply felt. I never thought of grief recovery as being so broadly applicable, so this was a big insight that will help me address and move through situations vs stuffing them away, so thank you so so much.

I began the program with the most difficult and darkest days of my life. While working through the loss of my daughter, I was able to process grief and other emotions that I pushed to the back of my mind (and in some cases, heart). This program was better than any therapy session, and should be included in Pastoral Education overall.

Because I participated in this program as part of a larger, CPE Unit, it was one of many foci. I would like to participate in The Grief Recovery Method at a time when it could be my main focus of study.

It helped me view Alzsheimer's as a source of grief and gave me some new perspectives on how to deal with it.

I am feeling more confident that I am releasing the grief pain I’ve had and I’m not crying as much. I’m feeling more content with my new life without my spouse. I have been able to forgive myself and let go of past regrets.

I think the incomplete relationship with my father has deeply affected my whole life and my current relationships and choices. I needed to let all of that go before I could affect real and lasting change in my life and relationships. Through the Grief Recovery Method, I have realized some uncomfortable truths about my relationships and myself which need to be addressed. This program has given me the tools to do the hard work while giving myself grace. I am applying everything I have learned to all my greatest relationships.

I thought the program was outstanding. When I try to select that, is selects all of them and I can't deselect the other ones. I appreciate how this helped me with my personal life and my professional nursing career. I have a new toolbox to help myself, my friends/family and my patients.

I was extremely disturbed about the loss of my Mom. Working with Jacqueline really helped me and I was able to function my everyday life much better.

I look at loss more broadly. I learned about my feelings that I have always kept tucked away. The graphs I completed and the apology/forgiveness/strong emotional statement was very powerful for me.

This was a very thorough program that really helped me bring some feelings to the surface that I was burying. I didn’t realize how much keeping things inside was impacting my health. It was so helpful to be around others who were non-judgemental and deal with some hurtful emotions I was keeping bottled up inside.

It helped me deal with my loss.

The program worked very well, because I learned how to use the Relationship graph to list the positive and negative experiences in my relationship, the Loss History Graph helped me list in chronological manner, my experiences and finally writing my letter to my father, listing, which contained my forgiveness, acknowledgments and my significant emotional statements, made me very emotional, but good at the same time and my good bye. I feel now that I can apply what I learned to other losses and situations. The book is excellent.

I must say, being a Pastor, I was a little concerned about how I would be perceived however I must say it was a very rewarding and enjoyable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

It was really incredible to learn the grief recovery process. I lost both of my parents back to back to covid a couple of months ago. It is easy to feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Being able to learn about common misconceptions, how to define words correctly, how to be honest with yourself - might sound simple but it really opened my eyes. It can be tough work to get through - but you will see that light and you will feel so much lighter if you put the work in that this program requires. Life is worth living to the fullest and working on being the best version of yourself and this program is an integral part of that process.

After many years of therapies, self-help groups, and personal enrichment, The Grief Recovery Method provided me with a different perspective and approach to work through losses in my life that were not related to losing someone physically (death). The method has allowed me to have more insight into patterns in relationships and my own tendencies in how I relate to others. This insight and the method have proven to be invaluable in honoring my experiences and feelings and allowing me to move forward with a new perspective.
