TESTIMONIALS

"Specifically, I learned that I was grieving inwardly and that in order to heal I needed to "publicly grieve", the mourning process. The group helped me move from inward to outward grieving." "Being able to talk with others who are going through the same thing and not feeling that you are alone. This group had made it easier to cope, grieve, not feel that you are the only one going through a death." "I feel I am getting better ever so gradually, there is less fear and anxiety. Our group leader, Fran, was very good. She was kind, understanding, and helpful at all times." "Meeting new people who, like me, are struggling with the loss of a loved one. Noting that many of us have had similar experiences. I have become more aware that my feelings, though unique, are "Normal". I have become more aware that my grief is complicated and that it has damaged my physical being." "Being allowed to express my grief amongst people who are going through the same process. The most valuable aspect of the group was that it was a safe place for me to express my grief." "The group process allowed me to process my feelings and experiences as I experienced the many turbulent emotions that came with the grieving process." "I will recommend these sessions to anyone who is grieving. It was excellent for my growth and gives me hope and coping skills." "I was able to share what I was learning and it helped my family understand more about grieving and mourning." "I am more at peace with being myself and it is ok to show my pain. I should "embrace" my grief and I am a bereaved person right now." "It has helped put things in perspective and made me realize it is something that you have to work through."
