Testimonials For Sandi Derby
This training is absolutely life changing. I have done talk therapy, IFS and DBR and nothing has removed the pain from my loss like GRM has. I look forward to doing more work with this method on myself and helping others to do the same. Such a valuable tool

Helping others has been a cornerstone to my loss recovery from losing my girls in a murder suicide. This training has helped me take the next step in my own journey, and has provided me with invaluable resources to continue helping others navigate their grief.

This is a training unlike any other. My instructor, Sandi was amazing and made it easy to stay engaged. I came in thinking I would be focusing on the loss of my husband as the personal experience I would sort through and ended up releasing a totally different type of loss. This method works and I wish I would've found it sooner. I cannot wait to share this method with others.

"The Grief Recovery Method training was truly life-changing. It provided me with tools, understanding, and support to process grief in a way I never thought possible. The structured approach helped me not only acknowledge and navigate my grief but also equipped me to support others with compassion and confidence. This training goes beyond theory—it offers real, actionable steps toward healing. I feel empowered to help others find peace and closure in their grief journey. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to transform their relationship with loss and recovery."

Sandi Derby demonstrated being a heart with ears, especially when people were sharing "all the stuff" of their lives. She didn't cut them off, judge them, criticize them, or give them a different perspective of how to look at their life and the painful experiences they had. She LISTENED!

Before this training I was not aware that grief can be completed. I lost my mother at age 10 and never did I imagine there was a process were I could learn to let it go and and feel at piece with her death. I am so very excited to be able to take this training to incarcerated people and start helping them achieve healing while being incarcerated.

The Grief Recovery method is life-changing. It is not a grief support or a grief share group. It is learning how to process grief, heal, and move beyond the pain. as they say in brief recovery, pain is not normal. Sorrow is.

This is so much more than a training. It's a healing process which guides you to help others learn to heal.

I came in contact with GRM when my mother passed away seven years ago. I was so attracted to the specific steps to come to completion of a major loss. When I decided to take the training I stated ,’I’m doing it to further my personal recovery of grief.” I was so completely enthralled with the presentation of the GRM by my facilitator, Sandi Darby, her compassion leapt through my computer. It was so inspiring I quickly changed my mind and am so enthusiastic to take grieves through the method. With over three decades of 12 step recovery, various self help intensives and grief therapy through Hospice, this work is truly transformative and works if you work it. Tried and true, GRM gives you the tools to bring all your losses to completion.
