Support for the Loneliness No One Talks About
Â
A Free Special Event with David Kessler
Tuesday, March 24Â
4 PM PT / 7 PM ET
"I am so glad you are here — and I am so sorry you're here."
Â
 This Grief Is Different.
And You Deserve to Be Understood.
Â
Join David Kessler for this free event for those who have lost a spouse, partner, fiancé, or significant other.
In this free event, David will cover:
- Why the death of a spouse is unlike any other loss — and why it's so often minimized by others
- The secondary losses no one warns you about (roles, rituals, identity, intimacy, finances, family)
- Why guilt, regret, and complicated feelings are a normal part of this grief
- Practical tools you can use right now to begin moving through this loss
- What it means to grieve fully — and live fully — after losing the person you chose
Join David Kessler
Live on March 24th

We would love to have you attend live, and a replay will be sent to everyone who registers
When a Spouse Dies, You Don't Just Lose a Person.
You Lose a Life.
Many people say they feel like half a pair of scissors.Â
They were the person you chose. And they chose you. Not assigned by birth or family. They were chosen freely, deliberately, with your whole heart.
The person you shared a life with. Woke up with. Shared rituals with. Built a future with.
When they died, everything changed. Your whole world changed. Your identity. Your finances. Your relationships. Your daily rhythms. Your sense of who you are now. And so often, the people around you just don't understand.
