Testimonials For Jocelyn Shorter
Jocelyn is an amazing facilitator! Her Billy to relate to the group is remarkable! She takes time to work with each person and engages the entire group. Very respectful of time allotted for the sessions and makes herself available afterwards if needed. I can’t say enough about this well needed program, especially when you’ve been taught to be strong and get over it and never given the time to properly grieve a loss. Thank you!!!!

I am better equipped to deal with grief. I believe I have new skills to cope with the grief that I’ve endured and may incur in the future. Becoming more knowledgeable about what grief is has been the greatest discovery I’ve found in the last 8 weeks. We were all blessed to have such a wise and compassionate instructor. She was so patient with me that it made me feel more secure in being vulnerable. Truly glad that I was able to open up to Ms. Shorter because at first I had some reluctance about speaking in the group. She helped me by allowing me to share or not share when things got difficult for me. I wish I had something like this in my earlier years of life but I do now. Thank you , Ms. Shorter for reaching back with your light to pull others out of their darkness. God bless you.

I'm a better person, a better friend and a better mom. I've learned how to deal with things instead of pushing them aside. I've learned how to open up more and express myself. I've finally learned how to deal with my past and future losses.

This program has changed my life. After my loss I was lost. I did not know how I would make it from moment to moment. I was sad, angry, and suicidal. This program answered a lot of the questions about grief/loss that were unanswered for me. Although I still have moments of sadness and anger, with this program I am equipped to manage my actions and thoughts in a healthy way.
