Victoria Volk - A Grief Survivor & Counsellor

Victoria believes that when we suffer trauma, the trauma might stop, but the grief, loss, sadness, and anger weigh like stones of grief that we carry into life. Victoria recognised that a lot of the situations in our lives can be manifestations of the grief caused by her story. Victoria believed being a mother would be like a coping skill to keep her busy, but that was a lie; Victoria was incapable of experiencing the innocence of love. And this led to alcohol dependence. Victoria was treated for her grief; it was a hard path for her, but she came through it, and it led her to address all her coping skills. Victoria believes we need to face our grief to overcome our demons, it's not enough to fear our feelings or medicate them, suppressing them. Victoria lost her spiritual path after her broken childhood and the loss of both her parents to illness in her young life. She recalls being in a dysfunctional relationship at that time, and in that moment, she prayed to God to save her from this madness snd to find a new soulmate. Suddenly, her soulmate walked into her life, and everything changed. This is her story. #grievingvoices #victoriavolk
