LoveShackLive_600x315

“We are all going to be touched by grief in our lives, but most of us aren’t sure exactly how to deal with it,” said Staci Bartley, adding, “It can also be uncomfortable and confusing when you’re trying to best support your partner or a friend in their grief. Do you mention the person they lost? What is the right thing to say? What do you do when they feel hopeless?”

Staci, along with her husband, Tom, hosts Love Shack Live.

Tune into the Love Shack, Thursday, March 4th at 1 p.m. as Tom and Staci are honored to have Victoria Volk of The Unleashed Heart as our guest. Victoria is a self-published author, Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, Usui and Karuna Reiki Master, and YouMap® Certified Coach who aims to use her strengths and skills to help those struggling with loss, as she intimately understands the impact of grief on our lives. Grief and trauma flipped her life upside down more than 30 years ago and she spent the rest of her life with the hope she’d get to where she is now – thriving. Victoria wishes the same for all grievers – it is possible!

“The truth is that there are certain things that we need to understand about grief that we haven’t been taught before. Join Tom, Victoria & me this week in the Love Shack where Victoria will share her story and knowledge about what helped her most in her grief journey, ” Staci said.
