Testimonials For Jake Petermann
He listened without judgement while giving feedback such as encouraging me to add more feeling words to my statements. Without that feedback, I don't think I would have had such an amazing recovery. That feedback made me dig deep and really be honest and vulnerable in my letter.

The facilitators in this class have always been awesome. I have worked with two different sets; one a husband and wife couple and one a man. Both sets had become facilitators after they took the class themselves. They benefited from the class so much that they decided to become certified. I personally think why they are so good at it. They can empathize with the participants because of their own personal experiences.

I have learned that grief can encompass many things besides just loss of a loved one. I learned how the myths we have been taught regarding death are not always accurate and can do more harm than good. I have gotten closure with painful parts of my past revolving my mother. I have gained valuable knowledge to help others who are grieving. It was beneficial to know that I was not alone and that the feelings and thoughts I had were normal and valid.

The program was different than I expected, but in a good way. Learning about the grief was helpful. I especially liked the small groups and the way it was structured with each person being able to share uninterrupted and the others to not touch or comfort the person while sharing. I thought this was very effective.

Though this program was hard because it made me dig into and face the loss I had been emotionally hiding from, it was a great step in my discovery and recovery
