This has been the biggest blessing. I am forever changed in the most positive way. When I started grief recovery I was broken in so many pieces and the women I see is one who has chosen to live a joyful intentional life not carrying the hurt of the past and made peace with the foundation of the hurt.

Helped me to complete any dialog with the one I lost
Support Groups04/06/2021
I have a stronger understanding that we all grieve on our own time, in our own way. What I feel in the moment or a specific task, is ok. I feel better knowing that we don't have a process to go through but steps to take. I feel I have accomplished a completion and still know my dad is and always will be with me. Though the communication ended, our relationship is not over...I will see him in heaven one day.

Even though I did not want to be on this journey of grief I am grateful there are programs like this out there and that I found this one and Paula! I feel like this program has helped me to understand what I’m going through..it has helped me too see the unhealthy ways I have been trying to cope and it has helped me to feel less alone by connecting with other people who are going through the same process as me. It was hard at times to have to do the graphs and to dredge up painful memories and turn them on their side and think about them when I would rather just forget. I see now that confronting these fears and feeling the feelings actually did not kill me and I felt a little freer and lighter having allowed them to come out. I know that there still things I need to work on and I know that I don’t have to be afraid. I felt that the the authors did a great job writing this heartfelt, insightful and practical book. I actually bought extra copies to give to a few people I know who are going through loss. I know it will help them too.

I was able to find the core loss that I believe to be the catalyst for many other losses in my life. Being able to complete that fundamental loss through the 8 weeks, has provided much healing. The encouragement to stay the course through some difficult passages was outstanding. The program's structure and composition and the facilitators' fidelity to its application, made the journey a safe and valuable one.

It helped me to understand the stages of grief and how to cope. I am forever grateful to this program. It should be advertised more as I was lucky by chance heard from an acquaintance. I would highly recommend it.

Sharing with people I like to say I can trust. I want to start fresh on my own. I know I have to change my life. I'm more confident, my self esteem is better. I don't think about the bad things in the past. I was very negative. I'm positive and making decisions.

The Grief Recovery workshop was so timely for me and I am so grateful that I attended. It gave me skills and tools to be able to deal with the grief in my heart. I have more work to do but now I am capable of completing other relationships that need to be addressed. I would repeat this course again, it was so good. Our facilitator Suzanne Easton was the perfect person to go through this journey with.
