Testimonials For Adrienne Mejias
I did not think I would be able to attend all 8 weeks. But I realized on the 2nd week that this is what I have been looking for and did not know it. I will continue each month to work on one aspect , or relationship where I have experienced grief. The format is what works for me. I liked graphing and organizing my thought in groups with titles. I could easily see where I need work and where I could let go. I do well with compartments. It's when the monkey mind starts jumping all over the place that I get into an emotional crisis. Keeping it in a timeline uncovers how and where I loose traction and go on the skids of grief. For so long I could not even put a name to what was going on with me. It's so clear now. I see that there are so many times and ways that I have experienced grief and did not have a name for it.

I felt this program helped me with identifying feelings that I had not realized I was holding. I felt some relief of heaviness I carried after completing this course, I learned that this method of grief recovery has given me a tool to use in my daily life.

This program made me face situations that I have put away for years. Bringing those situations and people back into the forefront of my mind was extremely hard, but also refreshing as I was able to finally deal with the trauma and put them back away for good with closure.

The program was open and inviting from day one. I was able to re-define words like forgiveness and grief. This redefining alongside of the other tools that were offered throughout the program, truly helped me to change my relationship with the pain accompanied by grief.

The program helped to validate my feelings and helped me to move from my stagnant place of grief to a position where I am moving forward. I still am sad that my son is not here to share life with me but I'm no longer stewing in my grief.

The method and the facilitator (Adrienne Mejias) were an incredible tool that helped me to work through my grief. For years I could not separate the multiple losses I had in such a short time. I was able to focus my attention on one loss and complete it with love and compassion. With my mental health background, I believe that the method can change lives. The step- by- step structure (at your own pace) allows you to safely understand where your grief is coming from and how to process those feelings. The grief recovery method will teach you that we may always miss those we have lost, but we don't have to stay stuck in the pain. Thank you!

The GRM 7-week program was incredible! I have been facilitating a support group using the old tools and knowledge that everyone uses, but that doesn't work. Now that I have learned about GRM, I will have a difficult time continuing to facilitate these support groups because they can only take someone only so far. GRM allows individuals to not only move on with their lives after a loss or a death, but to fully recover a live a full life of joy and happiness. I want to become certified to facilitate GRM so that I can help more people deal with death and losses of any kind. Thank you for this program!
