En savoir plus sur le livre
In this groundbreaking and poignant work, David Kessler explores a sixth stage of grief: meaning. Building on Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's classic identification of the five stages of dying in 1969 and their collaborative work on grief, Kessler draws from his own profound experiences with loss. His journey began in childhood when he witnessed a mass shooting while his mother was dying. Throughout his career, Kessler has educated healthcare professionals and first responders about end-of-life issues and grief, yet his life was irrevocably changed by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. Faced with this devastating loss, Kessler sought a way to honor his son and navigate his grief, ultimately discovering that finding meaning is essential for healing. In this book, he shares insights, collective wisdom, and practical tools designed to assist those grappling with loss. Praised as “beautiful, tender, and wise” by Katy Butler, this work is an invaluable addition to grief literature, offering a pathway toward healing and understanding in the face of profound sorrow.
