I was in a grief group for people who lost their spouses with Michelle Peticolas. I loved the way she facilitated the group with compassion, love, and kindness. She didn’t use the old paradigm of control to facilitate the group. Everyone had time to share and everyone felt heard and cared for. She is a deep and awakened person, which I appreciated.

I felt this was the reason that I was able to move through my grief in a healthy and compassionate way and I was able to find another person to love me in a way that I have never been loved before because I learned to allow them to love, nurture and care for me in a way that I couldn’t before this group.

I thank Michelle so much for this wonderful experience and I would recommend her either for group or individual consulting to move through grief in a positive, healthy and compassionate way.

I knew when I signed up that I would be helped to accept the loss of my partner. I had no idea how you were going to achieve that. Today I am amazed at where I am. I have come so much further where I can look to the future with anticipation. I was really resistant to the idea of “closure” but you made it so engaging and fun. John is not gone, he is always with me.

I appreciated Michelle’s kind words and found them soothing. I also learned that it’s ok to cry. I’m Filipino and I was brought up to believe it was not ok to cry.
