Episode 66: Navigating Sudden Loss with Dr. Victoria Wilson-Crane | 16 Days: A Sudden Death

Описание: Welcome to another insightful episode of Coffee and Contemplation with Susan Dunlop! Today, we are joined by Dr. Victoria Wilson-Crane, the accomplished author of "Sixteen Days: A Sudden Death. What to Say?" Vic is an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist who provides invaluable support to both children and adults grappling with life losses. Her memoir and self-help book, "Sixteen Days," published in January 2022, offers guidance to those helping individuals through the shock and grief following a sudden death.

In her everyday life, Vic is an educational innovator and leader, leveraging her academic writing skills and love for words as a form of therapy, especially as she faced significant bereavement in 2020. Vic resides in West Lancashire, England, alongside her husband, Roger, who is also an author. Together, they share their life, sense of humor, and joy with their dance-loving daughter, Holly Mae, and their spirited, uniquely eccentric flat-coated retriever, Ted Hastings.

During this episode, Vic will candidly share the circumstances that inspired her to pen such an impactful book. She will address questions about what to say (or not say), what actions are helpful, and much more when supporting someone dealing with sudden loss and grief.

In preparation for this heartfelt conversation, I reached out to the community on Facebook and Instagram and engaged in conversations with individuals who have personally experienced the sudden death of loved ones. My sister-in-law graciously allowed me to share valuable insights, including the words that were truly comforting and those that were not, as well as observations made after her son Paul's sudden passing. Additionally, we'll explore some poignant insights from Paul's sister about the unspoken words in sudden-death situations.
