About David Kessler
David Kessler is one of the world's foremost experts on grief and loss, and he knows traumatic grief firsthand. As a child, he witnessed a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital. Decades later, his twenty-one-year-old son died suddenly β a loss that shattered everything he thought he knew about grief.
That combination of professional expertise and personal survival is at the heart of everything he teaches. His deep belief: that there is hope, even after life's most devastating losses.
