It really forced me to face and address problems that I had been working hard to suppress.

I found the program for many losses, and an overwhelming grief. I left in peace. I left with a new outlook of choosing to be HAPPY. It may have saved my 20-year marriage and saved hours and hours of couch therapy!!

This program has been positively life-changing!!! I began in the program relatively hopeful. As I began the book, I became excited!! Dispelling the myths gave me hope that I just hadn't yet hit the truth I needed to be able to move forward. I personally copied quotes from throughout the book into a notebook and responded to them. That was a benefit due to my ADHD. It helped me connect with the text in a way that I was able to take the truths of it with me. I was overwhelmed to prepare and share my Grief History Graph, but Louanne listened attentively without comment or judgment. My first Relationship Graph was EXHAUSTING to prepare. I couldn't wait to get to group to share it and have that behind me! What a relief it was!! Then I had to categorize. Hmmm. That was somewhat tedious, but DEFINITELY HELPFUL!!! Then came the first letter. I was thorough, because that is what I needed. It was a marriage of 22 years that included increasing abuse. The 10 years since have continued the abuse, to the point that I have a Protective Order in place, which is violated more than once daily, because my now ex-husband lives in a different state than I and has been able to get away with it for over a year. The hurts that I experienced were individually experienced and for the most part my letter individually forgave and set in the past the abuses I had experienced one-by-one. When the letter was completed, I felt exhilarated while driving to class!! Sharing the letter was emotional, but FREEING!!! Being PAST all of that and having it completed has been INCREDIBLE!! When I noticed that thoughts about another relationship were clouding my mind, that relationship graph came next, with categorizing and a completion letter. Shortly thereafter, another relationship that NEEDED to be completed for the good of my daughter and grandchildren, because it was connected to her now ex-family, came to the forefront. In one day, I completed that relationship graph and was able to jump straight to the letter, including the appropriate categories as I wrote. The increased energy and lack of those hurtful, distracting thoughts spurs me on, looking forward to completing all that is ahead. I am grateful for TOOLS that are ACCESSIBLE!!! These tools are guiding me in how to "take every thought captive" and to not carry my anger into tomorrow. I bought another copy of the book for my grown daughter, and I bought a copy of When Children Grieve in order to have additional support as I work to organically share these tools with my children and grands as we walk through life together. I already hear myself responding to their hurts with a different perspective. Additionally, I have supported my 21yo son with special needs to transition out of school and onto what comes next. He had begun to have meltdowns, almost like a 2yo. We created the Relationship Graph for the exceptional school he has attended for the last years, where he will graduate on Friday with an academic diploma!! He made his notes above and below the line along the graph. Then he added smiley faces or frowns... We did it his way for him, and it has helped him. :) THANK YOU!!! May you be blessed for all that you have given to so many of us!

I took this course first online in 2020 and in a small group in 2022, processing different losses. Both methods helped me to heal from multiple losses and Louanne was an incredible source of information and comfort. My broken heart can smile again! I’ve already recommended this to so many people. We don’t have to live with our hurting hearts, we can process our feelings in this magical way… and put the pain in the past. A loss of love, death or job… all can be managed much better after GRIEF RECOVERY!

I don't have any family close by. Between my sister in Florida and Louanne, they are my family and support system. Sometimes just having her to talk to and for listening, accepting and helping through all of the emotions.

It helped me resolve an issue I have had with a family member for many years. Also helped me in dealing with the loss of my husband.

It helped me view Alzsheimer's as a source of grief and gave me some new perspectives on how to deal with it.

I was surprised that my friend recommended I take a class on grief when I confided my pain over a relationship in my life. However, I took her advice and signed up. I am glad I did. I found it helpful not only for that relationship, but in dealing with other losses in my life.

The Grief Recovery Method helped me understand the natural process of grief and released me from the shame I associated with my loss.

It was one of the most rewarding experience I had in dealing with grief.

It's help me to move forward knowing that relationship may never mend. But I'm ok and I believe hearing myself tell the truth about my feelings lifted a burden for me

The program worked because the facilitator actually cared about those whom were in the class. She was well knowledgeable to various aspects of loss but made it where each person could comprehend it easily. Each assignment was throughly prepared and student interactive. As educator myself I appreciate how she grouped us accordingly and it was so on point. Wow, how did she know who to place together. Each person brought out the true emotions in a very relaxed environment. I wanted to feel better and free from the pain from a marriage that ended unexpectedly. And that's exactly what I received freedom from the baggage of pain,humiliation and loss that I onced carried. Flying free !! Sometimes life happens so quickly and we don't get to catch our breath this class gave me my second wind.

I came as a professional curiosity. The work we did in the class made me realize that I had work to do to resolve family issues and situations from my past.

I was thoroughly impressed with the outcomes and learning that I experienced in this course. After reading the first couple of chapters I realized that this process was going to be personal, painful, emotional , challenging and rewarding. It was indeed all of that and I looked forward to each Monday night.. I am very glad I took the class, have already recommended it to others, and will look for opportunities to have this information shared with members of our church.

The Grief Recovery Method allowed me to come to grips with many years of suppressed emotions about the death of my mother. I had been avoiding acknowledging the death of my mother. Until I took the Grief Recovery Method training I was unable to talk about her death freely and openly. Louanne was able to teach me how to let go. The person she partnered me with was easy to talk to. Louanne is an outstanding ambassador for the grief Recovery Method training.
