How to Cope with Loss

Author: Tracey Benson May 5, 2020 Duration: 23:55

With everything that is going on, globally, I am sure that many people are dealing with the grief that results from any type of loss, ranging from losing a family member, a friend, a business, a job, or a substantial amount of money. And I know it’s not easy. I’ve been there, I’ve seen the different ways in which people cope with the grieving process and I know it takes time to overcome a tragedy.


I am deeply empathetic to those that lost someone or something in the past several months, and today, I am going to tell you a personal story that marked my childhood and my entire life, and I am going to share some pieces of advice that come from my own experience and from what I’ve learned throughout my life journey.


Listen to Episode 03 of Joyful-Souls, to learn that you are not alone. Remember, pain is inevitable but suffering is optional and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
