T.S.B. & Company co-founder, Karen Badal Hacker, has authored a book of the same name, which encompasses her lifelong journey through grief, healing and hope. Karen's story is a profound testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion and faith to transform personal tragedy into a source of strength and support for others. Born and raised in California, Karen's journey through grief and loss is both heartbreaking and inspiring. With the loss of two babies, followed by the loss of seven immediate family members in just six years, she has faced more than her fair share of sorrow. Yet, it's her response to these trials that truly defines her.
What makes Karen's story especially compelling is her unwavering faith, empathy, and compassion. These qualities have not only helped her navigate her own losses but have also been a guiding light for countless others facing their darkest moments. Her life's work reflects a belief in the potential for healing and the importance of community support during times of profound sadness. Karen’s book, 8:28 Hope in the Darkness is available for purchase on Amazon.

As a person who has been working in the field of loss for the past 25 years, I am often called upon by friends and family for advice on what to do for someone who has experienced a significant loss. I used to suggest several different resources but I am so grateful now to have a single resource…Karen’s practical experience and godly approach to some of life’s toughest questions makes this a book that I will be handing out to everyone I care about and love.

As a licensed therapist, I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families in times of extreme darkness. One of the hardest things for any client to navigate in session, usually surrounds the concept of grief and loss. The author of this book has skillfully navigated a very difficult topic through the use of her own experiences with loss, the use of wellness-based activities, her faith, along with proven Psychological modalities and strategies. I would highly recommend this book…
