It has been over a year since my Mom passed away. I was producing a podcast - Life In The A-Zone where I share my bittersweet stories of love, life and loss as my mother's caregiver from her diagnosis of Alzheimer's to her death. As I wrote and shared the stories I was struggling with so many feelings and knew I needed counseling to help me heal through the process. The grief recovery process allowed me to heal the loss of my mother in a profound way. It has been a gift to do this work with Claudia who created a safe space for me to walk through my feelings and come out stronger on the other side.

I really enjoyed this program. It was a lot of work and at times overwhelming but that's expected when dealing with issues in our life we want resolved. I have already recommended this program to a handful of people!

This programme has helped me enormously to advance and complete the process of grief after the death of my wife. I saw a ray of light that was so welcome when I had my first session. In fact in anticipation of our first meeting I felt lifted from the mood of despair into which I had been plunged after my bereavement. Throughout the programme I have found the tasks and instructions very easy to follow. My facilitator has been entirely generous in making the programme of great benefit to me and this has helped to transform my life.

The Grief Recovery Method Class was the best money I've ever spent on myself! This class allowed me to look at how I dealt with losses. It took me to the root of how it may have started and how I was presently dealing with grief. The class took away all the pre-assumptions that I had on what grief really is and how we all deal with some type of grief in our lives. I truly want to thank Lina for all of her encouragement, advice, and how she helped me reach a place of peace within myself. Thank you

I have lost a husband of 40 years. Because of Covid I am alone without family or friends around. It was comforting to share my loss with Ricki via "Zoom" - she had a good ear and was a calming influence. While I liked my appointment with Ricki, I didn't much enjoy the Grief Recovery Handbook. I understand there was a grief learning process to follow but the book 'annoyed' me. I felt the book covered too many different types of loss not related to my situation. I had very little background loss experience. I didn't feel comfortable seeking negative reasons within my relationship, although there were some undeniably. And I didn't care for the second book writer's input. I did my homework and read chapters and it wasn't until I sat with Ricki that I could put matters in perspective. I don't know how the program has worked for me. Obviously good or bad reasons listed above may stay with me and help me understand my loss as time goes on. Maybe I would have been happy just talking to Ricki but I also understand that the book gave structure to our appointment process.

I had two courses of Bereavement Counselling in the past for two separate bereavements. This course goes way above and beyond in terms of working through grief - it's both explorative and enlightening in ways the previous courses I've done before really weren't. Even though I did this course years after first experiencing bereavement, there was still an enormous amount of emotional pain and grief I had to process and after the course I felt a real shift happen due to the way the exercises were structured.

I read the book by myself, and it was nothing compared to working with Robin.She was fantastic and helped me complete the loss of my father who died terribly. I am so grateful to her for how she facilitated the program and for the program itself. I have a lifelong toolkit and even decided to get a puppy instead of fearing loss because I know that no matter what happens, I have a way to heal. Thank you!!!

Naomi was a great coach and the program helped me work through recent grief and grief from my past. I learned a lot about grieving, feelings and reactions. I learned that I do not have to let the grief from my life control me. I am very grateful to Naomi and the program.

This Grief Recovery Program has totally revitalized my emotional life. I had not realized how emotionally shut down I had become as a result of so much unprocessed grief going back into childhood until, suddenly, I was opening up and joy was finding freedom to flourish.

Wendy created and held a sacred space for me as I shared my losses. I was able to express myself and emotions without worrying I would be judged, shamed or not be enough. Being able to acknowledge my losses this way revealed patterns that were not lifegiving. It allowed me to let go of thought patterns that were creating hardships in my life.

The program helped me acknowledge my un-helpful ways of responding to grief. Thus I could begin to shift to helpful ways. And my facilitator and the book's exercises guided me in un-covering un-expressed grief and then expressing it in a safe manner. I did not realize how much space that un-expressed grief was taking up inside me until I completed the program. Quite cathartic and freeing for me.

Cara did a great job of encouraging me to be honest with myself and say the things that I have been thinking in my head for the last 12 years. This is really what I needed to do to grow from this experience. Cara is a great facilitator for this very valuable program and I would highly recommend this program to anyone who has experienced a loss.

It detailed and explained how to work through your grief instead of bury it. Faye is an incredible human being and if it wasn't for her patience and understanding of the program I probably 2ould have quit after the first couple weeks.

I found the whole process quite emotionally exhausting but also exceptionally cathartic. It surfaced many long buried memories, both good and bad, but left me feeling a great sense of closure and with a positive, balanced memory of my mother. For the first time I saw her as an average, normal, individual with strengths and weaknesses who genuinely loved me in spite of her (and my) flaws. I cried a lot, but by the end I felt quite relieved and very much at peace.

By working through old grief around my relationship with my mother, who is still alive, my current relationship with her has improved tremendously. I am very thankful for this program.
