This program helped me understand that grief if a natural emotional response to any loss in my life. When I first started, I thought grief was just about death and I was taught a lot of misleading information about it, but everything I learned was helpful and will be a great way to apply in many different relationships in my life.

The program has helped me to say goodbye to aspects of my relationship with my mom that no longer exist due to her health condition and to process parts of our relationship were difficult. It has also helped me to remember and cherish the parts of our relationship that were good.

I was able to heal from the loss of not having A Mom or Dad that was emotionally available for me. I couldn’t let go of the bitterness and expectation of their change. This process helped me to take responsibility for my part and let go and close the chapter.

This has been a wonderful and transformative experience for me that I’ll never forget. It was extremely helpful going through this program and learning how to cope with relationship loss between me and my father. I had an excellent facilitator (thank you Caroline!) and although it was difficult facing the different losses I experienced since childhood, it was cathartic and freeing to do so.

When I entered the program I was grieving the death and loss of my husband of 56 years. I would cry every day and my friend told me about the program and ask me if she could give my number to Caroline who called me. Caroline was loving and caring from the very beginning. I knew right away that I wanted her help. It was an amazing journey for which I am eternally grateful.

I have learned to take 1% responsibility for all actions. I am learning to acknowledge people for what they have done that I appreciate and when I apologize I now aim to say exactly what I'm apologetic for and to be specific. I have learned that all grief is still deserves a voice. I now deal differently with people that are grieving.

The Grief Recovery Method has started me unlearning the ways that I was raised dealing with loss. All the carefully thought-out steps helped me with my outlook on what's considered a loss, & to allow myself to feel the pain without judgment. I joined this program after my husband asked for a divorce. But, as I progressed through the classes I learned there were other losses that I never properly grieved nor healed from. It left me feeling refreshed, hopeful, & ready to move on to using these methods regarding my divorce, & other relationships.

The program helped me to understand the ways in which I lacked the knowledge on how to properly process grief. It came as a shock to me, but I also feel very much equip with the necessary tools to process grief going forward.

I have been carrying grief since I was 3 years old and I am now 41. I have experienced tremendous loss of every kind, and I thought I had processed and that grief was not a serious issue. I was completely wrong. Almost every part of my daily life was affected by deep held grief that I never thought I would address. Over this program my life has made tremendous shifts and I have become light hearted, I am aware of my personal thoughts and feelings and I can advocate for myself. I have felt the victimized feelings go away as I learn the language of grief and the language of recovery. My perspective on my past has completely changed and I am living in the present and planning for the future. I am not stuck in my unresolved areas of grieving. I can acknowledge the painful truths and forgive, I can share the unspoken love and breathe, I have come to terms with this is an ongoing process and I want to spend my life helping others make the same connections. I have never been so transformed by a class, I am a Christian and the Bible has reshaped my thoughts but Grief Recovery gave me tools to deliverance and it allowed for me to make greater room for others in my life. I am working through a second relationship now but today I have the tools to resolve and evolve through loss.

I had the healing experience of the in-person group and the virtual one-on-one sessions. Caroline was a truly wonderful facilitator of GRM the entire time. Her affect was empathetic and she modeled the listening heart at all times. I lost both of my parents within four months, and experienced numerous other traumatic losses. I was able to understand and work through the the entire process with her conscientious, honest, and caring assistance and encouragement. I feel lighter and stronger now. Going through GRM during this challenging time has been a true gift.
