Marilynn is a master at what she does. Her ability to hold space for me to work through the Grief Recovery Program was instrumental for my ability to bring up, confront and release my grief!

"Experiencing Marilynn’s ability to hold space with such incredible grace and ease has truly been a blessing in my life. She helped me process emotions and move through the steps needed to recover and heal from significant loss. I have gained so much more awareness of relationships and the importance of expression. Marilynn’s loving nature is a gift to anyone who is grieving and seeking help."

– Stacy B.

“The program helped me learn about grief and the way it has manifested in my life. I came to the program due to the grief around the death of my husband. I was able to address the loss associated with an emotionally absent mother since childhood which clearly needed to be completed before I addressed the loss of my husband. I look forward to completing other relationships in my life.”

- Participant in Colorado

“I was completely unaware of the unfortunate and harmful behaviors that I was damaging myself, others and most importantly to me, my children with. Grief in all of it’s many faces is a natural process in life. It is important to allow and be allowed to traverse through it in order to “complete “ the process of grief. I now feel as though my life’s tool belt is so much more equipped to confidently move forward through these challenges that are life and to be a true benefit for my babies as they move through their lives. I am so grateful for Marilynn and the Grief Recovery Institute for the gifts that I have received in this short course. Marilynn thank you for your honesty and patience as I experienced all of this information and started incorporating it into my life. You are a blessing! Thank you to all! Be Blessed!!”

“I learned how we all experience loss in different ways and not to compare our loss. I learned all the myths that go along with grieving and have tools to work through any loss. I learned how to communicate with my kids on loss and help them process their thoughts and feelings.”

“The Grief Recovery Method uses clear, easy-to-grasp language and concepts that have transformed my understanding of grief. My facilitator skillfully guided me through the process, offering support and a helping hand at exactly the right time(s). I now see the world and my interactions and relationships through an entirely different lens, with more clarity and compassion than before.”

“This method provides actual steps that really help process unfinished experiences!”

- Participant in Lakewood, CO

“I went from a non-functional person to a person that could step into normal society and feel at peace. I was once paralyzed by grief and didn’t know how to get past it. Marilynn walked me through the grief recovery process and taught me valuable lessons that changed my life. I am beyond grateful for the experience. It was a lot of work but it was worth it.“

- Participant in Jackson, Wyoming

“I loved the intellectual framework that allowed me to also get to my emotions. I needed that cerebral path to help open the door to bound emotions. I very much appreciate the iterative process it gives me for ongoing use.”
