Testimonials For Support Groups
I now have processes and methods to become complete with any relationship. I feel I have more work to do to get complete with the relationship with my Dad but I do have a way to work on it now. I would have liked the program to be a bit longer to help me get in the habit of completing relationships.

A very effective and efficient hands-on program that delivers tangible results.

the group setting was great for me because of my resistance to doing the homework. Sandy was very supportive & encouraging when I contacted her between classes to address that reluctance

I feel very fortunate to have found this program and I wholeheartedly believe that everyone would benefit from knowing the information and tools it makes available. There is a lot of misinformation about grief in our culture which leaves people feeling confused and conflicted when it comes to how to be and how to act around grief (whether our own or other people's). This program counterbalances the myths about grief and provides both clarity and emotional relief for people lucky enough to be able to participate. In addition, Jess is an outstanding and compassionate facilitator who I would trust to take anyone through this work with love and grace.

It just ended yesterday and I am still processing. Much improvement has occurred but there are still some leftover feelings of grief so I will have to continue the process in some way.

I had 1st come in 2001 to work the program on my late wife. I got to work with Russell Friedman and ended working on my Dad who was still alive. I went home and continued to work with a GRM counselor on my wife and on others. When my brother died I knew where to go. I hadn't done this in years and decided to reach out to the Institute. I chose Sandy b/c of availability and cost. She was so worth it.

The program helped me to think about things from my past that needed to be dealt with. There were many good things, like first day of school, scouts and other related happy memories and there was also sad or things I may have been sad or ungrateful about. I was able to look at them all and share these feelings with another very trusted group partner. Some emotions I had not shared with any body else.

The Grief Recovery Method provides an excellent step by step process to understanding loss and moving towards recovery. It helped me discover some things I needed to say in order to complete this process. It also helped me uncover some losses in my life that need more work.

It made me think about some situations. It also gave me some closure and peace at the end.

I did find the first 3-4 weeks quite slow, with all these rules I found opposing to my ideas of empathy and understanding. But as the weeks progressed I realized the first half of the course was setting the stage, teaching us new valuable ideas to not only deal with our grief, but also dealing with someone else's grief and what should and should not be said or done. By the last week and last exercise, the concept made much more sense and I appreciated how our Facilitator, Lorri, outlined weekly what to do, and lured us to come back to complete the process. I would recommend this, and even suggest it before someone ends up with a backpack full such as what I came in with. Thank you Lorri

Hit the mark for some things, missed on others. I hoped to find a way to rejoin the world but still wake up every day and go through the motions.

It has helped me to deal with grief in a much better way. By better understanding what grief is and how to process grief I’ve been able to deal with heavy situations in life in a much better way.

I’m enthusiastic about this method and believe all people should be aware.

It's not a miracle right away, also please do not expect it as a personal counseling session. If you are willing to develop a new mindset or stretch your mental power please embrace learning new methods. I highly recommend this course because our facilitators have built a great bridge and shared their personal examples of how they mastered the skill and apply it to their lives. Please do not be lazy, embrace your pain, seat next to it, and revisit your past hopefully with a renewed way!

I came into the program as an emotional stuffer. I left the program connected to my inner self. Everyone needs grief recovery training to deal with their stuff. I recommend it to all who want to be free of their burdens.

The layout of the program and the presentation provided help for me by reading, seeing and hearing first hand what others have gone through or are still working through issues. This was done respectfully, professionally and thoughtfully. This was not something thrown together at the last minute just because a program was needed. I needed this, in my time of loss, was respected, listened to and helped in the process. This came at the proper time. Thank you for your assistance in my recovery. God provides again and again.
