Grief rearranges a person from the inside out. The world expects you to keep showing up as if nothing has changed, when in fact everything has. This conversation honors that quiet, ordinary work.
Grief recovery specialist Victoria Volk shares why grief is so much more than loss of a life, how it accumulates over the years, and the gentle practices that help you return to yourself.
About the Guest:
Victoria Volk is the founder of The Unleashed Heart and an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. A longtime griever turned guide, she is an author, end-of-life doula, and host of the Grieving Voices podcast.
Key Takeaways:
- Grief is more than death; it's the loss of any hope, dream, or expectation.
- Grief is cumulative; a new loss can surface the older ones too.
- There's no timeline; you can keep loving someone and still heal.
- Journaling can bring clarity when your thoughts feel scattered and heavy.
- Sometimes the kindest thing to say is simply, "I'm here for you."
