Testimonials

“Having the option of one-on-one coaching support was attractive to me as I felt I was likely to hold back expressing my feelings, concerning the death of my wife, in a group scenario. It quickly became apparent to me that I was getting so much more from the sessions than if I just read the Grief Recovery Handbook by myself. Some two months after finishing the program I certainly feel it has been of great benefit to me.” Jason M.

“Michele was very helpful and attentive in our sessions. She took the time to listen to my many emotional issues and history of loss. I will never forget my husband Mike, but now I’m aware of my feelings and the distractions I use. I am using the exercises to recover from past losses that I didn’t know were adding to the grief I was currently feeling.” Katherine P.

“Very professional and knowledgeable about the grief process. She has a very great listening ear, and her desire to help is wonderful.” Craig G.

“Michele was outstanding. Each layer she added and skill she displayed impressed me with her depth of knowledge…and this additional self-awareness has already changed my life. Continued application of the method will undoubtedly provide repeated benefit with all of the other relationships where I have unfinished business.” Perrie C.

“I recently went through the Grief Recovery Method® with Michele due to a difficult relationship with a living relative that has been causing years of misery.

I was surprised that I chose to work on a different loss relationship, a close relative who had died years ago. I had put off dealing with their belongings because it was too painful for me, yet knowing things had to be handled kept gnawing in my mind.

I now realize the emotions and pain stuffed inside from this loss were making it harder for me to deal with the living relative. Since completing this program, I feel freer, lighter, and have started to sort through my relatives’ things. I also find that I’m not triggered by the bad behavior of the living relative.

I feel empowered and will be using these tools to deal with other losses in my life.

Thank you, Michele, for sharing this wonderful work.” Marie C.

“I learned a lot about the value of forgiveness and that it’s for my healing. I had this twisted that if I forgave the horrible things my father did to me, I would be condoning what he did. The light bulb went off when Michele shared that forgiving was for me and that if I chose not to forgive, I would be the one drinking the poison, not my father, who died.” Rory V.

“My husband died 2 years ago. I’ve read books on grief, like the 5 stages of grief. It didn’t make sense, but I figured ‘they’re the experts,” so I waited for the different stages to come. They never came, so I thought something was wrong with me.
I went to counseling, and she shared the same 5 stages of grief. Nothing changed. I still felt like a zombie. I just wanted to feel better.
Somehow, I found Michele, and thank God! At first, I was scared that if the pain went away, that would mean I had forgotten him. Michele assured me the opposite would happen. I knew my husband would want me to be happy.
Going through the Grief Recovery Method® changed my life. I feel like I have myself back, and I’m open to the possibility of dating.” Shanice T.

“I had been dealing with the death of my brother for over 9 years. I felt guilty that I didn’t do enough for him while he was sick.
Going through the Grief Recovery Method® with Michele helped me to reframe the guilt so I could let it go. I completed the program just before the holidays, and it was the fi rst time in 9 years that I could think of good memories about my brother. Thank you, Michele!” LouAnne K.

“I came to the Grief Recovery Method® because my son died 9 years ago. I felt numb in my life, no energy, no joy. I ended up working on a different relationship than I thought I would. This program opened my eyes to how we haven’t been taught how to grieve healthily.
This program has given me hope and the tools to process other losses in my life. I feel a bit lighter inside and not so weighed down with stress.” Serena M.
