Testimonials
I attended Beginning Experience 15 months after my wife died. Whilst I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I was hoping to learn more about how I might deal with my grief. I wasn't disappointed.The willingness of others to share their stories in such a candid way was truly humbling. It encouraged me to share mine, the results being wonderfully cathartic.

I attended my first Beginning Experience 13 months after the death of my husband. I was a little anxious of what to expect from the weekend but I was curious. By Sunday afternoon I felt a sense of camaraderie, I knew I wanted to belong to this group. To have a listening ear, care, concern, and acceptance was huge for me. I was allowed to be where I was at in my grief and reassured all was normal in the grief process. I have continued with Beginning Experience as a facilitator and this has also been an important journey in helping me to move through the stages of grief and pain fully. I have met some wonderful people on the same journey who are willing to share their pain and loss to enable others through this process to acceptance and healing.
