I appreciated the group because I learned that I was not alone in my pain. It gave me perspective. I especially like how Michelle asked questions. She was very skilled at drawing people out. It’s seamless and very valuable.

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.

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.
