Do you know what to say or what not to say to someone who recently suffered the death of a loved one? Do you understand what a griever might be thinking but not saying? Are you uncomfortable around friends or employees who are grieving? Do you want to get better at communicating and helping someone who is grieving? Do you comprehend how impactful it would be if you and your employees were better communicators to those who are grieving?
Randy provides practical advice to both grievers and comforters during his presentation and provides answers and solutions to the questions above. He has helped people who are grieving to better understand their grief while at the same time helping comforters better understand how to help grievers.
Randy Stocker is a survivor of the worst kind of loss—the death of a child—two children and his mother, in his case. Randy and his family live in Rochester, MN. He is the author of the book, Hugs Help--Our Story of Tragic Loss, Survival, and Helping Others. He is also a sought-after professional speaker on the topics of grief and grieving, an organizer of multiple bereavement groups, and a great listener to others who have suffered tragic loss. Randy is active in his community via civic organizations like Rotary, BNI (Business Networking International), the Chamber of Commerce, and his church. Randy is also an active member of the National Speakers Association of Minnesota.
Randy has written and published articles on wellness.com (What is a Griever Thinking?) and professorshouse.com. (Will I Ever he Happy Again?) He also runs a Facebook group on grief and grieving. Hugs Help | Facebook
Moved to action--Several people that I have spoken to are amazed by my strength and words. They are astonished that I am able to publicly speak after my tragic loss. Many listeners have left my presentations and went directly to the homes of friends who were grieving. Once people are comfortable with how to help, they proactively reach out and begin to help others.
Some unique things about Randy include:
- He climbed to the top of the Great Wall of China in 2005
- He spent several minutes talking with the richest man in the world (at that time), Sam Walton--about tennis.
- He adopted a beautiful young lady from China after his two daughters were killed. He had more love to give.
- He has been married to his best friend, Char, for over forty years.
