About this week's episode

David Kessler’s name is known worldwide in relation to grief and probably does not require an introduction as a guest. If you have been dealing with grief and diving into the literature, you will have most likely come across his name. I had the chance to meet David through mutual connections more than a year ago and I've been touched by his genuine nature and the passion with which he has been serving the community of the bereaved for a long time now. Personally, I have read many of his books. David also offers a lot of free resources both to grieving people as well as to clinicians. I'm honoured to bring you David as a guest today and I hope together we will have the chance to hear a lot more of his personal stories and benefit from his professional wisdom.
