Testimonials For Support Groups
The program has given me tools to complete relationships that have knowingly or unknowingly weighed me down. It is very empowering and I am very grateful.

I was anxious to start the program, though hindsight is a great thing. If I had known how beneficial the program was going to be to me; how safe, supportive and special the journey and fellow journey takers would be to me - I would have left the anxiety at the door. The program takes you through brave steps and gives you time, tools and abilities to work on your grief, or the different grief weights you are carrying in the such a powerful way. Our facilitator was a calm, pillar of strength and example and guided us in a way that felt like she was holding our hand but lifting us up to do the important work we were there to do independently. Its a beautiful thing to feel so supported and so independent at the same time.

I had never heard of the Grief Recovery Method before I took part in the eight-week program. While I was dealing (or not dealing) with loss associated with bereavement I had not been looking for help at the time. The opportunity to take part in this course arose quite by chance but I took it gladly. I did not know what to expect but I found the facilitator, Louise Griffey, to be extremely professional, respectful, caring, honest and approachable. She guided me through all the steps of the program, explained all the main principles in depth, demonstrated these with her work on her own personal losses and answered any questions I had with patience and understanding. I found the completion of a loss-history graph to be an eye-opening experience and it enabled me to choose my first relationship to work on in depth. This turned-out to be different from the one I had initially selected. The work on the relationship graph helped me to identify both positive and negative experiences from my past which have affected me throughout my life in one way or another. While I cannot speak to the motivations of the person to whom this relates, it helped me to try to understand why they said or did the things they did and to realise the impact these had on me. I felt very privileged to be part of a small group of other women who shared their own losses with me. I looked forward to our Monday night meetings and felt that I was in a safe place with people I could trust and who listened to me with compassion and without judgement. I highly recommend this program to anyone suffering their own loss and I will be recommending my facilitator, Louise Griffey, to my family, friends and colleagues. I look forward to using the skills I have learnt to work on more of my own losses. Thank you for everything!

Our facilitator was outstanding; however, my loss was for a miscarriage, and I felt like the relationship graph was difficult due to the circumstances.

This program helped expand my definition and understanding of grief. It was helpful to be able to share my experiences without comparing myself or being compared to other grief experiences. It was an extremely healing experience.

I found understanding my sterns put a whole new insight into my current behaviour. It was remarkably uplifting to be brutally honest, to take a indepth look nto my relationships, focusing on my feelings and particularly been able to forgive. I found forgiveness empowering as my choice and freeing.
