At first I thought nothing could help, but I was wrong! As I worked through the program I began to heal, and it had a lot to do with Jeff, who was so concerned with his participants.

This program helped me realize that I had been using STERBs to avoid my grief. I learned that it is okay not to be okay, and to be open and honest about how I was feeling. I learned that part of my grief was due to some incomplete items in my relationship, and this program helped me identify and complete those items.

It was enlightening, educational, and proactive in content. The lessons learned gave me information that aided in my ongoing grief and the journey. I have attempted to trust the multiple phases of grief and the road that it leads me in. Thank you

The program helped me be more aware of what my responsibilities are in my grief process and to help have the words to describe and share my feeling effectively to others as well as myself.

My wife died in August, 2022 and I was lost without her and desperately in search of help with my overwhelming grief and uncontrollable emotions. In November, I participated in a four hour session conducted by this same organization and same presenter. I received a glimpse of what I felt I needed but then had to wait until February, 2023 to participate in the eight week, in person, recovery program. The wait was nearly unbearable but worth it. This program identified areas and prompted thoughts that I would have never considered. Our presenter, Jeff O’Dell, was a very caring, understanding, experienced and capable leader as he took us through perhaps the single most devastating time and experience of our lives. My youngest daughter participated in this program along with me and I have a son and oldest daughter whom I’m going to strongly urge to participate in another session like this. I’m confident the time and effort would benefit them greatly. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in such a great and helpful program and I am grateful to Jeff for his caring dedication and leadership.

The book was excellent. It does need to be rearranged for a better flow in reading and teaching, but we were told about this ahead of time. I will be sharing this book with others and have already recommended the class. The death of your only child is impossible to explain and cope with. Although we did this two months after his death, we felt strongly this would be the best path for us to go forward in order to honor our son's life and be able to honor our own journey. We loved that it was held at a church in a loving and supportive atmosphere. Each loss and grief experience is so unique, but being able to look into the eyes of another human and know that you "know" we are there to help each other through ... is essential. Valuiable and human.

It opened my eyes that I wasn't doing the right things.

The layout of the program and the presentation provided help for me by reading, seeing and hearing first hand what others have gone through or are still working through issues. This was done respectfully, professionally and thoughtfully. This was not something thrown together at the last minute just because a program was needed. I needed this, in my time of loss, was respected, listened to and helped in the process. This came at the proper time. Thank you for your assistance in my recovery. God provides again and again.

Being with others going through something similar made me feel not alone or feel embarrassed about how sad I was feeling. Writing the letter and reading it to my partner was the hardest/best part. The class gave me many good things to think about like STERBs and just that the emotions I am feeling are normal.
