It helped me organize my thoughts and feelings after the violent suicide of my husband, by going back to my parents and reviewing my relationships with them and thinking how they had influenced my relationships since. Eventually I felt decompressed enough to tackle the immense grief over the loss of the love of my life.

I have been struggling with grief and loss of my family for many years. Trying to recover from my grief alone, I have suffered by being in a negative, reuminating loop.. All the negative thoughts, constantly circulating through my head, had adversely impacted my sleep, my day-to-day life, and prohibited me from building new relationshps. This program, and Deborah who worked with me, helped me to find ways to finally accept my losses. This acceptance has opened doors to new opportunities for really living life and again finding joy. I'm looking forward to each and every day and I'm sleeping much better!

Lori paved the way by demonstrating vulnerability by sharing her own story. This created a safe environment to share our own stories with other. She responded with warmth and empathy and promoted emotional healing. The class was just what I needed so I could process my grief. I was able to honor my love for my sister and release some of the pain.

After completing The Grief Recovery Method, I feel like I am a better listener for my friends and family. I used the methods learned in the book not to "fix the problem," but listen and be there for that individual and avoid saying things like "I know how you feel, just give it time, and don't cry." I feel like I am able to verbalize things that are bothering me at the time of the incident instead of bottling up feelings. I am working on dealing with the problem in real time instead of keeping quiet and letting things build up inside. I am thankful for my experience with Grief Recovery, I believe it has set me up for a happier future.

I learn a lot that I was grieving over my children, all the pain I caused to them, and how to accept that and carry it a lot differently.

Outstanding. I have even told my sister with stage 4 cancer to order that book and do the graphs. I realized I grieve so many things. Dealing with the loss of my father lifted a huge weight off my shoulders not dealing with it caused me even more grief. I can't be more thankful it was nice to have a teacher who shared and understood and who actually felt too.

Going through the Grief Recovery process was a first for me. I’ve had a LOT of loss in my life and thought I was handling it well or as well as can be expected. But the Grief Recovery Method showed me how I’ve been conditioned to handle loss and that there was still a lot of pain in my heart for things I did do and things I didn’t do with my relationships. I only finished the course yesterday so I’m still processing it all but I feel there has definitely been a turning point in the relationship that I worked on. I already have a few other losses that I’d like to work on and my instructor has made himself available to be my confidential partner in the future if needed.

Worked on relationship with adult daughter

There was a set time period (8 weeks). There were specific steps to take that can be used for other or future losses. The facilitators were excellent. I now have other people (facilitators and other people in the group) to reach out to. The exercises seem to have mitigated the sense of loss I worked on.

Helped my look past loss to relationship and what steps I can take to release myself and others by working through and naming hurt and pain.

I feel that the program helped me identify that many of my behaviors are grief related. It helped me to understand that in many of my personal relationships it’s good to sit down and identify the good and the bad, and two except responsibility for your faults so that you can release them. Making the lifetime line and your life’s events timeline helped to bring things to the surface that you had forgotten. And I’ve never been one for writing letters to people who aren’t going to read them, but I definitely think it helped and I will be using this method moving forward.
