How does the Grief expert handle such a tragic loss? He knew he had to find a way through this unexpected, devastating loss, a way that would honor his son.

For most of his life, Kessler taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about end of life, trauma, and grief, as well as leading talks and retreats for those experiencing grief.
His journey with Grief began when, as a child, he witnessed a mass shooting at the same time his mother was dying.

Kessler argues that it\'s Finding meaning beyond the stages of Grief most of us are familiar with--denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance--that can transform Grief into a more peaceful and hopeful experience.
