Understanding Grief
When You've Lost a Loved One to Suicide
When Your Child Has Died

 

Grief must be witnessed. You can’t ignore grief or run from it — it tends to catch up. If you have a thousand tears to shed, you can’t stop at 500

Navigating the Rocky Terrain of Grief

“The only way out of the pain is through the pain, but no one teaches us how to do that in trauma and grief, and we don't understand how to deal with these losses of life or relationships. In this course, people will learn healthy ways to cope and move forward. They’ll be in a safe space to admit their grief and start attending to it. Because we cannot heal what we don’t feel. We must name it and be with it to really heal. And I’m not talking about forgetting. I’m talking about integrating loss in a healthy way.”

About David Kessler

David Kessler is the world’s foremost expert on grief and loss. His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has taught him the secrets to living a happy and fulfilled life, even after life’s tragedies. He is the author of six books, including the recent bestseller, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He has also co-authored two books with Elisabeth Kubler Ross, including On Grief and Grieving, which updated her 5 stages for grief. His first book, The Needs of The Dying received praise from Saint (Mother) Teresa.

When David was young he witnessed a mass shooting while his mother lay dying in a hospital — two events that propelled him toward what has become his life’s purpose. He facilitates talks, workshops, and retreats for those experiencing grief as well as teaching physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about end of life and trauma. However, despite his vast knowledge on grief, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. It inspired him to write his newest book, Finding Meaning.
