Testimonials For Peggy Norton
The program has helped me to see how grief has affected my life and others. I watch what I say to people who are dealing with grief. I also look at a person different now when they are anger or upset because they are dealing with grief themselves. I also look at the STERBS in my life that I use to deal with grief. I have been making sure that I don’t allow them to take over me. I plan on doing lost relationships graphs for more people in my life along with a letter.

Outstanding program. I walked away with so much knowledge especially not knowing that loss of a loved one is not the only reason one grieves.

Losing three sons to the criminal justice system with in months , relationship issues, alcohol and sleeping pills dependence, history of grief losing my mother etc and simple issues growing up trying to forget yet never realizing the impact on my behaviors during the years of becoming an adult. This was an experience that SAVED ME.... It has allowed me to take responsibility. Given me hope and strength to accept what I cannot change but allowing me to help[,what it is that I can. I was once afraid to seek counseling of any sort because I never thought that what I needed anyone would really understand. I didn't need someone that was not just a text book counselor I needed empathy and someone that can say that they may not know my struggle but have felt the pain. I needed a comfort zone that I felt safe to talk and share without judgement or disappointment. I thank God(smile) been hard expressing that statement but I know that I have been Blessed for the women that saved me and that was of Faith and the dedication the she has for the program and the lives that make the first step of acknowledgement that I was experiencing Grief.. Peggy Norton Thank You and my you continue to never change that love for helping people by having that listening ear, not minding a soul in need to talk an not shut down, to cry scream be angry, simple walk us through from where we at til we rise without judgement... Thank You again and we will meet again because I will forever have this testimony to share.

It is just the beginning of my healing process, but I believe the program revealed straightforward tools for embracing and releasing the deep emotions tied to loss. I look forward to a longer and steadier relief as I release each loss from my past. I caught a glimpse of what it might feel like and it is worth pursuing.
