… Recovery from traumatic grief
Hosted by
Barbara J Hopkinson
Grief Mentor & Author
“A Butterfly’s Journey”
We all know someone that has experienced the loss of a child, grandchild, sibling or close loved one. Perhaps you have experienced that sort of traumatic loss.
It is important to know that you, too, can find a NEW NORMAL, be hopeful, even happy again. Barbara has after the loss of 3 children, and is now helping others to find hope and happiness again.
Barbara will talk about how nothing breaks the bond of LOVE, not even death; how we all grieve so very differently; and why a positive “love” focus makes such a difference in recovering from grief.
Key Leanings:
- – Grief is Unique
– Belief – Faith – Signs
– Focus on the LOVE
Supporting the journey to HOPE…

PS. Please consider forwarding to someone who suffered a traumatic loss.
I lost my sister in Jan. 2013, my ex-husband 2 weeks later, a grandmother figure I had known for 25 years in Dec. 2013 and my son, Kevin in Jan. this year. I hadn’t gotten over losing my sister or the others and then my son was gone. Almost a year later, I am struggling immensely over my son’s death!! I cry daily and sometimes am so distraught I cannot functio. He was 43 and was killed in a car accident on Jan. 1st this year.
Geez, Karen – that is a lot, more than you should have to endure. I’m so sorry for your losses.
You need to be really kind to yourself and patient with yourself and others – it’s going to take a long time and hard work, but you can heal and remember your sister and son’s lives as gifts to you, not just a loss. You will find a new normal, I have. Not sure where you are located but I can help you find local resources and spend time with you 1-on-1 on the phone. I’ve put together resources that I am loading into a Resource Center for this traumatic grief and happy to discuss tools that might help you individually, that you can use on your own. You are in my thoughts and prayers – and I’d like to help you find hope and happiness again. It’s possible, I did it and have helped others to do so.

PS Sorry for late response – finally got some kinks out of my web site and catching up. Thank you for patience.
Have dealt with death all of my life, by time I was 6 yrs. old, I’d lost a brother and 2 sisters. Then later in life my son, Jacob died of same genetic disorder as they. And as of 2 yrs. ago, lost John, best friend, companion. Missing him, hard to get over.
OMG Manti, I’m SO sorry… that’s a ton of loss! You’ve done well to survive it – and many kids of all the folks closest to you and trauma upon trauma. You are a very strong person. I too have lost one brother, 3 children, both parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts & uncles… loss is a part of life, of course, but some of us get more than our share. I see that you’ve chosen to live and hopefully to heal – it is a choice. Our loved ones want us to heal and go on, and they are still with us, just in a different way. I’ve had many signs of that. It IS very hard to get over, but with time, work, tools and a new focus – you can find hope and happiness again.

I lost the love of my life only together 17months and planned on getting married.I miss him so much,he past June 16 2014,and I lost my other partner if 32years before in 2011.I am deeply hurt.55yrs old and found the love of my life and gone.hurting.
I’m so sorry Charlene – loss of any kind is difficult but especially those we are closest to… and you’ve endured that twice. Try deep breathing or meditation and exercise for stress, then write a letter to him or journal your feelings – it’s cathartic. My focus is the loss of a child, grandchild or sibling but there are many resources for partner grief. If you’d like to schedule a free call, and we can review some – please do: https://www.timetrade.com/book/QVTQL
Thinking of you through the holidays – be good to yourself.
