Grief needs a witness.

When a child dies, it’s tough to find witnesses to see parents and grandparents through their pain. Plus, this kind of grief is unique.

David Kessler is offering a free grief workshop about this experience, called When a Parent Grieves.

During this workshop, Kessler will discuss:

How the grief after a child dies is unique
How to remember with more love than pain
Techniques and tips to navigate your changing roles

This is a virtual event that happens on August 31, 2023, 9:00 am PT/ 12:00 pm ET. Not able to make it? No worries, you will get a recording.

Who Is David Kessler?

David Kessler is a well-known grief expert, with significant losses of his own and decades of experience. Here’s his official bio on a recent email:

David Kessler is a grief specialist, speaker, and author of six books, including his latest bestselling book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He co-authored two books with Elisabeth Kubler Ross. His first book, The Needs of The Dying received praise from Saint (Mother) Teresa.

David’s personal experience as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital helped him begin his journey. For most of his life, David has taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about the end of life, trauma, and grief. However, despite his vast knowledge of grief, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son.
