Testimonials For Ellen Monsees
It has taught me that is ok to grieve and work through the loss. You don't have to pretend everything is alright when it isn't.

This program was able to break the process into steps that allowed me to examine the grief I was suffering following my divorce and gave me the necessary tools to start recovering from that grief. After reading many self help books on this subject I still felt that the grief I was experiencing was still interfering with my ability to move on. The grief recovery program is the first thing that has lifted that cloud for me.

The program helped me dissolve some of the deep guilt that I constantly carried. I still carry guilt however not in the way that I was. The program helped me see things in a different way which was helpful in a sense. I blamed myself for everything that happened to my son so some of that was lifted from me.

No other grief group or counseling helped after losing my daughter. My therapist gave me the Grief Recovery Handbook. As I began reading I knew then I wasn't crazy. I reserved your Web site and found Ellen Monsees. I called and attended, the 8 week group. I went in to work on the loss of my daughter but soon found I had unresolved grief with my mother. The homework was emotionally difficult but the directions were very clear. Using the book and Ellen guidance was easy to follow. I am saving money to be trained. I wish to become one of your graduates and help others.

I lost my father 5 years after my mother passed away. I knew that I had not dealt with the grief of my mother's passing well and wanted to grief my father in an effective and meaningful way. The Grief Recovery Method allowed me to grief them both but to truly focus on WHAT I was grieving and HOW I was feeling. It allowed me to refocus WHY I felt certain emotions and to let go of the regret and learn that it was not guilt, but regret that kept me from truly grieving these devastating losses. The book and Ellen were phenomenal resources to guide this process yet it all felt so individual to myself and my experiences of loss. it has helped me see any loss in a new way nad to be a better person, mother, wife and friend. The lack of judgment was freeing and really allowed me to face the parts of my relationships that I was hiding from. Have tried many support groups and bereavement counseling, the Grief Recovery Method was a whole new approach that truly worked.
