What a great conversation to have with Victoria who shares more about her journey & her work. Victoria experienced a lot of grief in her life, having lost her Dad aged 8. She learnt that grief was something that you deal with alone and in isolation as there wasn’t a lot of conversation around it in her home. This led to the creation of a deeply embedded belief and also emotional disconnection from her Mom.
Victoria explains how grief doesn’t just pertain to death but describes it as a ‘loss of hopes, dreams and expectations’, or ‘anything that we wish would have been different, better or more’, hence this is a really important conversation for the times we are going through as everyone is experiencing loss of some kind.
Part of Victoria’s mission with her work is that grief is normal and natural, but talks about what’s not normal or natural is how we let it derail the entire rest of our lives.
In this episode Victoria shares lots of information, tools and questions that can support others through their grieving process. She also mentioned a book called, ‘When Children Grieve’ for anyone who may have children who are going through loss.
