Testimonials For Ethel-Anne Roome
I was suffering from many tortured symptoms grieving for my children. The symptoms included shaking, crying very often, being unable to stay still, being unable to focus. This work with Ethel-Anne and the exercises I did to complete the course remarkably relieved the frequency of many of those symptoms. I have much more functionality than I did before I began the work with Ethel-Anne. Am so grateful to her and to the Grief Recovery Program.

I wrote a lot in the comments section for my facilitator. The same sentiments remain -please see them. In sum, I feel connected and indebted to a soul who was willing to meet me in a stormy sea. Now I see a horizon, ground again. While I still have much to build back up after a lot of loss, I was able to share and have witness. I felt the way I was able to group the SES, forgiveness and apology “content” gave me authentic expression versus victim tonality. I wanted this to be the case. My facilitator was super and careful to not let me pick up further self deprecating layers which may be easy for an Empath to sometimes pull in (work in progress to be mindful about). She showed me care to the very final minutes of the cumulative work. For ex. I wanted to apologize for not loving myself more and we neatly, professionally worked on this and I’m so glad we did. It was a quick line I was confused to add in from my end, and she was perceptive and present to know this was important. It was confused on my end and I’m truly grateful she is who she is and allowed me that extra question time-space and guidance to listen to that urge. Grateful I had this guide and that the work is what it is, planned, contained and thorough.

It was great to have a contained witness and program to proactively address longterm wounds where I thought hope did not exist. I have more forgiveness in my heart and spirit now activated. I did not write "outstanding" above primarily because I came to work on my immediate recent breakup and following the advice of the book I veered to the past. I know this isn't therapy and that's something I planned to do with my therapist, however, I still have to readdress my recent issue, so that's a bit disappointing. But I suppose it was my choice. That's my immediate feeling of bitterness. Because I want to celebrate this program ending but I know I have to still address what I came for ahead of me next season.

I feel lighter and more functional. The program has helped me connect better to my faith. I still have a long way to go to process the deaths of both my children. Ethel-Anne is willing to help me and I’m very grateful. I feel hopeful.

My facilitator was empathic and knowledgeable about grief, emotions and my culture. This eased our communication and her understanding of my needs. The process more than met my expectations.

I liked this program because it was one on one. It was explained very clearly and was gone over so I completely understood every step. I felt comfortable asking questions and being told that I needed to do some things differently. (At times I thought I could rewrite the book, ha ha!). Ethel-Anne was very caring and a wonderful teacher. Follow up for me was great because I wasn't doing it exactly how she told me - so now I've got it. Thank you for this program. I'm still a work in progress.

The process of writing the completion letter was helpful. the process of reading the letter at the end was not helpful. It was hard to read such difficult content with no verbal response, and then just sit in silence for 10 minutes while the facilitator stared at me. This is not a critique of the facilitator. But, this was not what i needed after reading my letter.

Opened my eyes to grief that I held on to for years without acknowledging the source of the loss

It gave me a chance to express my personal feelings and I now feel much more calm and accepting of a situation I cannot change.

I feel "free" - released from a heavy backpack of heavy rocks I was carrying around for 60 years. I had to dig and painfully go back and relive painful memories but by going through the pain, I was released from it. This is powerful stuff and a tremendous relief. I know so many people who could use this program and benefit from it. I THANK God for your organization.

I have had many losses. The Grief Recovery Method has allowed me to grieve and has taught me tools to use as I experience each loss that life brings. Above all the Grief Recovery Method has helped me to feel "heard" as a griever.
