Losing someone you love, losing a job or a home, or losing the presence of a spouse through deployment in the service can leave you devastated. Is there any way to get help while going through the pain of this loss? In this interview , Fr. Mike explores with Victoria Stephan what she did when she lost her husband at an early age. Victoria comes from a very spiritual family, growing up in the faith atmosphere of the University of Notre Dame. She went through a period of search, floundered a bit, and came back stronger. Then her husband died and she had a difficult time finding the strength and support she needed. But it did happen. Now she is engaged in helping others cope with all kinds of loss. The Stephan Center which she founded educates professionals who work with those in loss and provides all kinds of services for churches, faith groups and individuals on how to deal with loss.
