It helped me come to terms of the death of my son, by understanding that although I loved him dearly, we definitely had rough patches. They taught me my son was human. When my son died I put him sitting at the right hand of God. They taught me that it’s ok to admit we had rocky times.

This was a very emotional course for me and many times I thought to myself “why am I doing this to myself”. I strongly urge anyone that has the ability to fight through the intense emotions to do so and complete this course. Although it wasn’t easy for me I am very glad I stayed until the end.

I will be more confident sharing and holding space for students and others to share their grief and loss and their thoughts and feelings around that.

The program helped me realize the different ways that children can experience grief.

With this program being a training exercise and not a recovery program, there was some activities that seemed not-relevant as the group was not in an active recovery state but rather a learning state. Most of us are sitting in our offices, or a shared space, needing to go to classes/meetings within minutes of the program ending. This makes it difficult to 1. be vulnerable and 2. understand the full experience.

It has helped me to understand that grief is so much more than death. By following the exercises I have released anger and resentment that I didn’t know I had and have felt tremendous relief.

I went into this program with high anxiety and apprehension of dealing with my losses. I am walking out of this class with my head held high and ready to deal with all of my losses and to start going through my relationships. I feel like I am ready to look at my losses and relationships with a healthy and obtainable outlook. I feel like this program will allow me to build and establish healthy boundaries with my family and friends, and allow me to heal. I feel lighter in my grief and not so heavy in my heart.

I learned so much and for the first time in almost a lifetime was able to breathe a sigh of relief at the very end and let go of the sadness and anger. Thank you Candace and Mandy. ❤️❤️❤️

This program is Amazing! I feel so empowered now on being able to address losses of all kinds in my life. This program is an extreme necessity for everyone. I can't even describe how much of a worthwhile impact that it has had on improving my mindfulness practice, and how I am now processing Grief of all kinds in a healthy manner. It's like someone turned on a light in a dark place that I wasn't even fully aware existed. Everyone needs this in their life!

The program has updated my skills that i learned in drug treatment. Very similar tools that i have learned in the past. The book was easy to read and the instructions were clear. I felt that mandy was very careing and considerate of my feelings unlike her co facilitator candace. I also appreciate that mandy has agreed to be available in the future to read any letters i may have.

The program made me dig into feelings that I wouldn’t discuss or deal with in the past. It was a very hard thing for me to do but I found what you put in you get back and then some.
