The program has helped me to not only see areas for improvement in my day to day living, but has also allowed me to finally put to bed some thoughts and feelings Ive held onto for so long.

What I liked most was learning how to be an effective listener, how to deal with emotions in the moment to help prevent future incomplete emotional situations, and the grief recovery method. I feel like this is a skill everyone should have.

My heart is lighter. I can see & accept myself while seeing what areas I want to grow in. I feel heard. This is huge for me. I can see where a lie originated and can change the current course of it. There is a truth that I hold & not fight against. I appreicate that this is not a blame game. Seeing & acknowleging hurts and saying goodbye to the pain offers so much healing; more than I could ever imagine. I feel more secure in my body. I want to use apply these tools in all aspects of my life. I want to teach my children.

I’m able to see the wonderful parts of my relationship with my mother, and while I’m still grieving losing her to dementia, when I feel sad I’m not debilitated by it.

I experienced a sense of release from the burden of guilt due to my not caring for my parent as well as I should have. I was able to forgive my parent for the behaviors that caused me hurt as well. I learned principles that will help me and my loved ones in our losses. I was able to open up and share things with my small group that I have only shared with my spouse before--that was therapeutic. I also learned from others in the group, as they shared their losses. As a senior citizen who is a caregiver, I consider this class as a part of my self-care.
