Author Bio
Pat Joce is the Founder of LADRA™, an
organisation which provides non-medical loss awareness support to those
impacted from a loss event. LADRA is an acronym which stands for Loss,
Anger, Depression, Realisation, Awareness and represents the different
stages of a loss journey. The concept of LADRA is about sharing loss
survival stories and reflections with other Loss Survivors. LADRA does
not focus on the details of a loss event but focuses on the impact that
loss event has on a person. The mission of LADRA is that no-one needs to
ever walk their loss journey alone.
Pat was motivated to write this book
after volunteering in the ‘Mud Army’ in the 2011 QLD flood clean-up.
When she saw the look of despair on the faces of those whose possessions
had been washed away, she could recall her own despair after
experiencing traumatic events that impacted her life. Pat has managed
the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, for over 16 years
and with the professional support from her local GP and psychologists,
she has developed her own set of support strategies to assist her.
