Finding Meaning After Loss with David Kessler

  • Summary

  • Are you grappling with the profound weight of grief and wondering if you'll ever find your way through? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the idea that healing from loss should follow a straightforward path, only to be met with the unpredictable twists and turns of your emotions? In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I’m chatting with the incredible David Kessler—one of the world’s top experts on grief and loss. With his decades of experience and six impactful books under his belt, David brings a wealth of wisdom to our conversation. We explore how grief isn’t this neat, linear process but rather a winding, sometimes messy road. David’s insights remind us that acceptance isn’t a single moment but a continuous journey, and finding meaning often comes from those small, everyday moments rather than grand gestures. We also have a real talk about the importance of community and support, especially how connecting with others who get it can be a total game-changer. David’s new companion workbook is a treasure trove of practical tips and exercises to help process grief and find light in the dark. Plus, we touch on tackling those tricky feelings of guilt and shame, with David guiding me through some eye-opening exercises. Here is a sneak peek: Personal experiences with grief, particularly the loss of a child The non-linear nature of the grieving process Importance of finding meaning after a tragedy Emotional complexities and stages of grief The role of community and support in healing Challenges of managing practical matters during grief The impact of guilt and self-blame in the grieving process The societal perceptions and stigma surrounding prolonged grief Don’t forget to explore Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief workbook.
