I have been able to remember more good things about my mother. I have let go of a lot of anger about things we never discussed. I was able to forgive her for many things that happened from my childhood.

When I was at the lowest point in my life dealing with marital separation, health issues, and the death of a parent, a friend told me about the Grief Recovery Method program in Asheville, NC. Although the prospect of participating in a recovery group like this scared the crap out of me, I was so desperately depressed that I was willing to try anything to clean up the mess that was my life for both myself and my adult children. For me, this program was a huge step in the right direction for my new life journey and it gave me the tools to successfully deal with the grief I was experiencing. I am truly grateful for this experience and would recommend the program, and most certainly the program facilitator, to anyone dealing with issues of personal loss. Thank you.

I went into the program a bit unsure of what I expected to get out of it, but I do feel as though I've gained quite a lot. I learned a lot about grief/loss as well as helping others who are experiencing grief loss. I feel as though I've gained a skillset that I will most definitely use again in the (hopefully not too near) future.

This program provided me with invaluable support as I dealt with the untimely death of a parent. I feel that I was able to get in touch with my difficult emotions and give them the space and treatment needed in order to move forward in my life in a positive way despite a devastating loss. Some of the work seems minor at first but offers surprising depth and comfort when actually performed. I highly recommend seeing the process all the way through and giving every exercise the opportunity to help in your grieving process. And the group experience was surprisingly liberating as well.

It has allowed me to tie up the loose ends of my grief and relationship with my Father. Now onto my beloved wife.

The program has helped me recognize that grief is not abnormal. Having good and bad feelings after a loss are all completely normal. I am more prepared to face my negative feelings and be able to handle them as they come up. I feel well equipped to recognize avoidant behaviors that I have, and I realize now that avoiding my feelings of grief will only cause them to get worse. I feel much better since my loss. I think completing my relationship with the person I lost has helped me recognize how lucky I am.

i got the most out of doing the history loss and relationship graph and completion letter. until we got to that part, i felt like the information was a little basic and elementary to other work i had done prior to the group.

It has changed how I am in relationships--less distress about the disappointed hopes/dreams/expectations with my parents. It has decreased my anxiety and fear about the future. For example I used to work myself into tears and panic just thinking about my dog dying someday. Now I feel like I have the tools for when that day comes and meanwhile I am that much more intentional to say things to him and love on him fully....being more patient or apologizing when I'm not so that I don't carry those regrets later. I feel much better equipped to be with people in their grief and not say unhelpful things.
