Testimonials For Support Groups
I felt the program really opened my eyes to the different forms of grief. The book was excellent and easy to read. The HW assignments also really helped me. It helped me see how effective journaling is for processing my thoughts. I felt like the facilitator, Maria Caras, was excellent. I felt very comfortable opening up during the groups. The face to face connections were the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this course.

An amazing program, that explained and put into action, useful tools to overcome grief. The facilitator emphasized the need for each participant be honest with themselves, and the more you out into the class, the stronger the recovery. I have recommended the course to numerous people, who are grieving over a loss, and I am in a much better emotional state after taking the course.

The program gave me the opportunity to see how some old griefs were related.

I've heard "you need to grieve" but never knew how to. Grief Recovery gave me the steps I needed to take to grief my losses. Thank you Grief Recovery and thank you Kathy Reid!

The program is good. Group conversations are not easy for me in general. I'm not sure what style would work best for me, have tried only talk processes.

This program is amazing and I would highly recommend it for any type of grief and loss. The faciliators were genuine in showing our group members kindness and compassion. I went to the group for one reason and ended up working on something totally different. I found the group to be so beneficial as I learned so much about grief and loss, forgiveness, and how we can better navigate this process. Thank you for providing this very helpful group!!

This program has been life changing... it is one of it's kind. There are many coping tools for different situations in life, but I have not come to learn effective coping skills with losses until now.

This program offers a detailed look into learning more about one self and provides practical concepts (that take time to implement) on how to manage and work through difficult losses and complex issues that arise in common life experiences.

I felt the program met its goal to help me to release pain and complete loses I needed and a method to deal with any grief with other individuals in my life .. I am glad I participated in these classes. I am planning on taking the class again

The best part of this program was the homework assignments. I was able to reflect on my losses and relationships that I never quite thought of addressing before. Thank you GRM and thank you, Lupe!

The program has helped me view grief in a very different way than when I first signed up to be a part of the group. I am now able to acknowledge my own feelings and speak my truth without "feeling bad" about it because there truly isn't anything "bad" about feeling horrible about a situation. All too often we hear others say the 6 myths to one another, but now I am able to provide insightful information about why saying such things may not be helpful during a difficult time. I am now a lot more open to communicating my feelings with others, especially those I hold close to my heart. This experience has helped me find hope within myself.

It helped me see things differently I.e. there was something in the relationship I always said was not there before marriage & doing this study I saw clearly it was. I had just chosen to look the other way. Also, seeing & realizing there were patterns in the relationship I should never have allowed. I feel more whole, cleaner, lighter, and knowledgeable. I thank God for John W James, Russell Friedman and Mary Beth Ludt, whose last name I spelt wrong in some of the past answers. Thank all of you!

It brought perspective and relief
Support Groups03/03/2020Participant in Scott AFB, Illinois
The program enabled me to say goodbye to my husband the way I really wanted to say goodbye to him. He died in a hospital after a 4-month stay, and by then, his cognition had diminished. I feel at peace now after truly saying goodbye through the final letter. Sharing the letter was the most emotionally wrenching experience I have had; however, it was cleansing and cathartic.

This program was very helpful for me. The information presented helped me process my feelings and come out with a better understanding of my grief. The support from the other members of the group was also very comforting. A safe place to express your thoughts and emotions without having to consider what someone else might think. I would highly recommend attending this class for anyone who is struggling with grief.
Support Groups03/03/2020Participant in Lexington, KY
My grief is still ongoing but my mind is more peaceful. My joy of life is returning. I feel as though I have grown emotionally as I listened to others who are dealing with the same situation. Shared grief is very beneficial. Thank you for a job well done.
