Testimonials For Gwendolyn Russo, MA, GC-C
Grief Recovery Method Certification training was very thorough and powerful! I learned so much in such a short amount of time, it really blew my mind! Our instructor, Gwen Russo, was unbelievable knowledgeable and relatable. Her wisdom and experience working with grievers made the material even more relevant and powerful. I cannot wait to begin to use the things that I have learned during Grief Recovery Method Specialist Certifcation!

As no different from anyone else, I have suffered a few losses throughout my life. Not necessarily deaths of loved one, but some life altering and rather significant losses, many at a younger and vulnerable age. For most of my adult life, I have tried to overcome feelings of unhappiness, sorrow, hopelessness, etc. I have tried traditional therapy, medication, etc. All I achieved was a greater ability to express my sorrow, but no tools on how to properly deal with it let alone get thru it. And then I met Gwen. OH MY GOD. Talk about life altering. I did the 12 week program. I have begun to feel peaceful, less anxious, hopeful. I have stopped medications I was taking, I have taken notice of the things I have been doing that were unhealthy for me and have made significant changes to alter or stop them altogether. I continue to work with Gwen as I still need her guidance at times as I do not want to sway off this new found path. For the first time in a very long time I am excited about the journey ahead. This sense of calm, of hope, of humility have finally cracked thru and I refuse to let them disappear. In such a short time this simple program has CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. People around me notice this subtle change in me. I hear the comments they make, and they are good. This program isn't only used to recover from a death. This program is so valuable in showing people how to recover from loss. Loss happens to us constantly and we have never, ever, been shown the healthy way to process loss. This program and specifically Gwen has done and will continue to do that for me. If I could shout about this from rooftops I would, that's how much this has impacted me. My wish would be that everyone take part of this program. The world would be such a nicer, better, happier place to be in. From the bottom of my heart and the top of my soul, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

The Grief Recovery Method Training is a life changing program. The best training I have been apart of in my 23 years of attending professional development courses. The method is the missing piece to traditional therapy/counseling.

I had some significant Aha's about the family patterns and strongholds between me and my relationship with my daughter. I was already pretty unpacked with her but it revealed some new information and cleared some deeper stuff. I look forward to continuing to use this method on other losses.

I am so thankful I took the necessary steps to begin this journey - for me it literally was a life-saver. Through the program I learned how important grieving really is - and there actually are better ways to grieve than others -such as not grieving in silence and not hiding my grief from others. I looked forward to my session each week and was amazed at the change in myself from week one when I felt helpless, broken and shattered and cried through most of the session to the end of the program when I was able to Talk freely and Even laugh. Of course, I will forever miss and grieve for my husband, but now I have the tools to better handle my grief. I couldn't have done this without Gwen Russo. I believe we're connected with certain people for a reason and Gwen is my angel on earth that guided me through my darkest times with, not only her professionalism, but her humanism...she sympathized, empathized, guided and overall made me feel safe. I am so thankful for this program and for Gwen.
