If You're Experiencing Grief...
You're Not Alone:


Traumatic grief doesn't knock politely. It breaks down the door or ambushes you in the grocery store, the shower, or at a birthday party. And it makes you wonder: "Will I ever feel like myself again? Or is this just who I am now?"
 

â–Ş Intrusive images or memories that replay without your permission

▪ Overwhelming guilt about things you did or didn't do

▪ Old wounds and past traumas surfacing when you least expect them

▪ A sense that the old you is gone, and you don't recognize yourself

▪ Triggers and activators everywhere - sounds, dates, places, even weather 

▪ Feeling flooded and unable to catch your breath when grief hits

▪ The belief that your pain is bigger than you and will never change

▪ Isolation because others don't understand this kind of loss


In traumatic grief, your mind and body are responding to something you weren't prepared for.

There is a path forward...

Introducing A New Online Course With David Kessler

Traumatic Loss & Grief: 

Traumatic Grief Doesn't Play by the Rules of Ordinary Grief

 

Instant Online Access   •   LIVE Virtual Q&A Sessions Start March 12th!

In this course, you'll finally hear:

 

"Your reactions make complete sense."

You'll get tools that actually work when you're overwhelmed. Real techniques for intrusive thoughts, triggers and activators, sleepless nights, and the moments when it all feels like too much.

You'll learn how to hold your story, when to share it, when to protect it, and how to stop it from consuming you.

And most importantly: You'll go at your own pace. This is your grief, your trauma, your healing.

What Is Traumatic Grief — And Why Does It Feel So Overwhelming?

Maybe your loss was sudden. Maybe you saw something no one should see. Maybe you were helpless while it happened, or you can't stop asking what you could have done differently.

This isn't regular grief. This is grief that broke something open.

You know because your thoughts won't stop. They keep looping with no off switch.

The guilt sits on your chest. You rethink what you did, what you didn't do, the seconds you wish you could just redo. Your nervous system hasn't gotten the memo that it's over. You're still running, still bracing, still waiting for the next bad thing.

And somehow, impossibly, old wounds are resurfacing. Losses you thought you'd dealt with. Pain you buried decades ago. It's all coming up at once.

You might not even recognize yourself. The person you used to be feels like someone you read about in a book.

All Trauma Has Grief, But Not All Grief Has Trauma


Standard grief support tells you to "feel your feelings" and "take it one day at a time." But when grief comes with trauma, those platitudes don't work.

You need something built for this.

There is a path through, and this course was designed to help you walk it. You don't have to do this alone.

He's the author of six bestselling books, including Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief, and co-authored On Grief and Grieving with Elisabeth KĂĽbler-Ross.
