Testimonials For Dinah Simmons
This program has made me understand the different aspects of grief, the misconceptions of what is expected and given me an understanding of the reactions when you experience grief. Although it can be emotionally tough at times, working through this process has enabled me to complete relationships and help me move forward. I will continue to use what I have learned in the future. Dinah is a superstar! She is supportive, really knowledgeable about the subject, a good listener and proficient at helping you understand and drawn your own conclusion to ensure that I got the most out of the program. I am so grateful for her support and would recommend this program for anyone who is struggling with grief.

Working through issues that have haunted me for years, have now been laid to rest. A very freeing experience. It was difficult to start with, not to say anything in our breakout room but soon saw the point of allowing the other person space and time to release what they had to say and also for myself. STERBS have become a watch phrase to ensure empathy of others and knowing they are grieving. I have since written other completion letters and found a peace within which previously I have wrestled with. The facilitator was excellent in the way they handled difficult situations and was empathetic when the need arose. Our sessions were online and week by week the facilitator would share how to use the technology in front of us! We had laughter, tears, virtual hugs and flowers given; all over zoom!

The programme has helped me reflect on all aspects of grief. It has supported me in working through my relationship with my mum who passed away over 20 years back and helped me to take action on items that had been left unsaid. Things that, while working through the programme, were clearly still weighing heavy and affecting everyday decisions. I feel I now have the tools and ongoing support to work through other losses that hold me back.

The programme taught me that I didn't have to say goodbye to my friend as a whole just the physical person but not the relationship and memories I had of her. It helped me look back at the relationship in it's entirety not just the last painful memories of her illness and death. It helped me to remember my friend and smile as well as cry. It also helped me to look at another difficult relationship in my life for which I had carried a lot of emotional baggage for a lifetime and come to terms with it. The Grief recovery Method is very good for looking at all difficult relationships in your life and helps you to move forward . i think the skills learned will stay with me into the future and I can use them for any future grief I may have.

I found the program excellent. It helped me to identify my difficulties in dealing with the loss of my partner were much more than that event, has helped me deal with those difficulties and set me on to a road where I feel I can see that there is a way forward. I cannot think of anything that this money could have been better spent on and will certainly recommend the program to others.
