Darlene Garcia is an excellent facilitator! She made me feel so comfortable in being able to share the deepest parts of me to uncover a lot of unresolved grief that I never thought existed. Her compassion and care has made it possible for me to work towards healing from my unresolved grief.

I think I was able to connect more with Darlene because she's from where I'm from so she's able to understand how grief in our culture unfortunately is not something that is discussed to its full extent or even perceived as something other than the loss of a loved one. I'm grateful I reached out to her because I can tell she is very passionate about this work and I can't imagine how hard it must be to be in this field. She does such a great job at being a heart with ears and of course a grief specialist. She is very understanding and does her best to help me complete difficult relationships in my life.

Even though I had done alot of personal work on dealing with grief and loss, I still felt like there was something I was missing to recover and be positive about the future. In a widow support group I found out about this program. It has been the key to what was missing for me to move forward. Not only was I understood on my personal experiences, I felt heard, respected,comforted,and relief of the childhood and other past trauma that was holding me back from complete recovery. I learned so much new information with this program. I can't say enough how this has helped me to be a happy and healthier person.

This program has helped me in so many ways. It helped me to understand grief and how a lot of what I was taught growing up on how to handle grief was not necessarily the best. It helped me to be empathetic to others about their grief because I was taught that we don't compare grief. My facilitator, Darlene Garcia, was amazing. When I reached out to her, through a recommendation, she immediately responded and when we spoke on the phone, she opened up about her story. It floored me because she was explaining about her emotions and grief when her husband had passed seven years ago and it was like listening to an audio recording of myself. Our grief may be different but there were so many similarities, I knew she was the right facilitator for me. The assignments were tough to do, emotionally, but after every one of those assignments, I always felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. The difference I feel now as compared to when I started is night and day. I was a complete mess when I started weeks ago and now it's a lot more manageable. I'm still grieving but now that I have a better understanding of my emotions and my feelings, I'm able to deal with them in a positive manner.

I don’t have recurring conflicting feelings that interrupt my thoughts and feelings throughout the day. I am not devastated. It is as though emotional baggage has disappeared.

I was shown a different outlet to use to work through my grief. I was also able to finally identify the many areas my grief was coming from. There were some things that occurred in my life that I didn't even realize I was grieving from until I took the GRM. Overall, as hesitant as I was to go through with the workshop in the beginning, I knew I had to try it, as everything else I was doing didn't seem to be working. I left feeling so grateful I didn't back out and went through with the workshop.

It has taught me a new way to deal with my losses and I especially love how it taught me to take care of one loss at a time.

GRM has given me the tools to start to learn more about myself and how I handle loss on many different levels. I believe I now have the tools needed to grow my ability on how I cope and recover from loss. I recommend this program to everyone!

In the span of 2 days, I was able to share feelings over the loss of my mom, these feelings I have never shared with anyone even those closest to me. After participating in the 2 day workshop with Darlene, she has helped me understand the tools I need not to overcome the great loss I suffered, but how to deal with the emotions and grief that come from that loss. The Grief Recovery Method, is definitely something I would recommend to others who have suffered with ANY type of loss in their life. After going through the program you will be better equipped on how to handle other things life throws at you and not suppress your feelings. It is possible to recover from grief and regain your energy/life.

The program made me acknowledged different types of losses I endured from early childhood, which I believed, I've been carrying with me thru the present. That helped me deal with those losses one last time and then eventually worked on what I considered grievous and more recent ones. The program also focuses on how to live at the present, which consistently aligned with what I learned from a very famous author and spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle. I considered the program very powerful and worth recommending to anyone who is experiencing grief of any kind, as a safe and effective alternative to healing emotional/psychological pains. Worth mentioning, however, guaranteed success depends on the participant's willingness to embrace the program and apply the tools provided as a means to heal continuously. Thank you!
