Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

David Kessler - the world's foremost expert on grief and the coauthor with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross of the iconic On Grief and Grieving - journeys beyond the classic five stages to discover a sixth stage: meaning.

David has spent decades teaching about end of life, trauma and grief. And yet his life was upended by the sudden death of his 21-year-old son. How does the grief expert handle such a devastating loss?

In Finding Meaning, Kessler shares his hard-earned wisdom and offers a road map to remembering those who have died with more love than pain, how to move forward in a way that honours our loved ones and ultimately transform grief into a more peaceful and hopeful experience.

An inspiring, deeply intelligent must-listen for anyone struggling to figure out how to live after loss.

For anyone who is grieving - High recommendation

An expert grief counseller already who then lost his own son. Rather than allowing that event to destroy him, he provides even deeper counsel from a place of knowledge and experience.
I have drawn a lot of comfort from his words, insights, suggestions and of course his reflections from his own loss.

Incredibly helpful

Having lost tragically our 17 year old son in a car crash nine months ago this book was invaluable. I highly recommend it to anyone treading any devastating path of loss. 💜
