"I enlisted the help of Sarah Jones at a difficult time when demands of personal administration were becoming overwhelming coupled with challenging full time work and lone parenthood. Sarah treated me kindly, sensitively, dealt with organisations efficiently and assertively filling me with confidence that the issues would be dealt with – as they were. I was full of admiration for the way with which she was able to break down what, for me, seemed insurmountable into tangible and achievable tasks – which she then completed. It relieved me of a huge amount of stress – she was like a fairy godmother! What is really unique about Sarah is that at no point did I feel incompetent as a result of needing support as she is so empathetic and understanding. Worth every penny."
Mrs James, Suffolk
"After the death of my son I found it very challenging to deal with certain correspondences/organisations while grieving. Sarah helped me immensely through this difficult time in an extremely professional and sympathetic way. Sarah's manner made me feel comfortable, and she gave me very practical support with efficiency, understanding and compassion.
I would say Sarah is a highly trustworthy person, with the perfect skills and knowledge for the service she provides and I would have no hesitation in recommending her services."
Mrs Palmer, Suffolk
"When my husband died Sarah helped me to sort everything out. She is highly efficient and made everything easier. She took the weight, strain and worry of it all off my shoulders and sorted everything out for me. I don't know what I would have done without her help."
Mrs Wilkinson, Essex
"I was a bit skeptical when a friend recommended Sarah to me, but when she visited me I knew immediately that she was amazing. Having her help has lifted a huge burden from me. She is extremely efficient, thorough and caring, and has just the right balance of assertiveness and understanding when dealing with agencies. She is very focused on what needs to be done, and when she does those things I get the genuine feeling of her wanting to help rather than it being just a job. In all the time she's been working with me there is not one occasion when things haven't been done that she said she would do. "
Mr Price, Suffolk
"I can't speak highly enough of the Grief Recovery Method. The pain has gone!
Sarah created a safe and confidential environment, which enabled me to really talk about what was going on for me, for the first time.
I decided to do the Grief Recovery Method Programme a year after the loss of my son. I was lost and struggling through life with constant pain, thinking this was how life was always going to be and that I just had to find a way of 'coping with it.' Completing the GRM programme with Sarah has done so much more than that for me. It was daunting at times and challenging but Sarah's highly competent, caring approach made it possible for me to continue and achieve such relief and clarity.
I can now look at photos of my son without pain, I can talk about him without pain, which means I can have my memories of him back in my life in a positive way."
Mrs Palmer, Suffolk
"The Grief Recovery group programme was exceptionally helpful to me. Sarah referred throughout the course to her own experiences, which I found very reassuring. Not only because I felt that Sarah was able to empathise with my experiences, but also because I knew that she had found the programme helpful, giving me the confidence to believe that I would too.
The programme provides achievable steps which really do help to make sense out of the emotional chaos that is grieving. I have recommended Sarah and the programme to friends who are experiencing diverse types of loss and I will continue to do so.
Sarah’s open-hearted nature, her (seemingly inexhaustible) energy, her humour, her clarity of thought and her deep kindness all mean that she is the ideal person to act as a grief recovery facilitator. There are few whom I would trust in the way that I was able to trust Sarah and complete the programme.
I would urge anybody who is struggling with a sense of loss in their lives to contact Sarah. You will not regret it"
Mr Jarvis, Suffolk
"I feel so fortunate to have attended Sarah's Grief Recovery Group. She created a totally safe space where I was able to let go of grief’s which had been haunting me since childhood. I've since done one-on-one work with Sarah which enabled me to resolve more recent losses that I was finding impossible to deal with.
I've done a lot of therapy over the years but this simple and powerful method really gets to the heart of things and gives you the means to move forward. I've learned so much. Sarah is amazingly skilled, compassionate and easy to talk to. I can't thank her enough for all she has done for me."
Mrs Ord, Suffolk
"The course provided a robust, easy-to-apply, framework with which to support children through the grieving process. The practical-focussed course equipped me to deal effectively with children who are struggling to engage meaningfully and effectively on a day-to-day basis.”
Mr Stead, Essex
"I felt that the course was invaluable and highlighted two things for me. The first how much we as adults carry grief and this being so often accumulative. How we bury grief and fear the vulnerability of exposing it to others. Secondly, it highlighted the need for action as opposed to the time heals everything approach. Doing nothing doesn't heal or solve it.”
Ms Griffith, Suffolk
"I would recommend the course to anyone! Yes it was one of the hardest things I've ever done (in respect of having to be open and honest in front of people whom you'd usually paint on a smile for) but actually, the end results are more than I could have ever hoped for. I feel like I use the skills I learnt almost on a daily basis.”
Mrs White, Essex
"I found the course to be very positive when it came to understanding my own reactions to grief and it was that reflection that really helped deepen my understanding of the children’s responses.”
Mrs Lamb, Essex
"I have the confidence and know it’s OK to share my story about loss and grief with the boys so that they know that the way they are feeling is both normal and acceptable, as often boys are embarrassed to show their emotions.”
Mrs Price, Essex
"Thank you, I feel that I understand so much more about loss- it's impact and the processes that support children experiencing it.”
Mrs Paramor, Essex
