I end up dealing with grief that I didn’t even know existed
Support Groups11/15/2022Participant in Monarch, Alberta
Before the course, what I saw mostly was the loss, gaping void of what was no longer there, the betrayal, the abandonment, the wrongness of it all, and my own victimhood. There was so much evidence of it always in front of me, all the time. The triggers were ever present and I at their mercy! Through the course, I found many valuable insights: - empathy for myself through the review of my loss history and patterns - compassionate acceptance of my role in the loss(es) I was grieving - forgiveness for myself as well as the other person(s) - evidence of all the love and goodness that was ALSO present in my relationship with the person(s) in question, even if it was in the past - a chance to finally communicate so much that had been left unspoken between me and the other person(s) All this helped heal my pain at a level I haven't experienced before! It's not that the pain doesn't come up anymore, however it doesn't feel as raw, as gripping as it used to be. I have found ways to soothe and console myself in more meaningful, love-focused ways. It has helped me get unstuck in many areas of my life. It's still a process, but the progress I have felt and others have commented on is remarkable. I am very grateful to have found this program.

Understanding of the myths of grief was very helpful. Being heard by the other participants was appreciated. Having new tools to complete the grief cycle will be used again.

I really enjoyed it, I learned a lot and helped me to let it go of the past hurts and keep on with my life.

The definition of grief has a deeper meaning than just a loss of a love one.

The grief recovery method helped me learn a lot about myself specially in the emotional aspect. I am not an emotional person as I am more of a stoic but I learned from grief recovery that it is perfectly ok to feel and express your feelings, in fact it is very beneficial and liberating. I also learned to listen to others without judging them. I learned about the relationship graph where you can examine and be aware of your deepest emotions that you experienced with the person or event that you are grieving about. I also learned about the STERBS or the unhealthy habits we develop to deal with grief. I also learned about completion through apologies, forgiveness and acknowledgement. Overall, it was a great learning experience. Thank you.

I liked the way the program broke down the work one step at a time. I didn't know how I was going to tackle the grief / loss of my childhood because of my narcissist mom. But each week broke down difficult steps to manageable ones.

I have never written a good bye letter and I feel like I am free from thoughts that I never could say outloud. I 10/10 recommend this to everyone, as everyone looses someone.

The Grief Recovery Method is a wonderful program. The presentation of this program method truly opened my eyes and my heart to a different way of healing. I have already recommended the program to other family and friends. I am very thankful that I participated in this program.

I am very grateful for the initial recommendation of the Grief Recovery Method book. I began to read it as soon as I received it. I also began to share what I was learning with others. We as a group decided to ask Fr. Peter Gelfer to be our facilitator which he agreed to do so. It has been a grate blessing. I have continued to use the tools he provided.

This program helped me to look at grief and loss through a completely different lense. I saw that things I did not realize we're losses were tremendous losses. I plan on using the Grief Recovery Method to work through many other losses I have experienced.

I've been working on my personal growth since 2008. This programme was really helpful compared to the courses, reading and coaching I've done so far. The Grief Recovery Method helped me deal with some upsetting features of my life, that I couldn't before. Jess' empathy and listening, and her ability to speak into what I was feeling made it possible. I did this with an incredible group of people too. I'll never forget it.
