À propos de cet audio

 In this groundbreaking and “poignant” (Los Angeles Times) book, David Kessler—praised for his work by Maria Shriver, Marianne Williamson, and Mother Teresa—journeys beyond the classic five stages to discover a sixth stage: meaning.

In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross first identified the stages of dying in her transformative book On Death and Dying. Decades later, she and David Kessler wrote the classic On Grief and Grieving, introducing the stages of grief with the same transformative pragmatism and compassion. Now, based on hard-earned personal experiences, as well as knowledge and wisdom gained through decades of work with the grieving, Kessler introduces a critical sixth stage: meaning.

Kessler’s insight is both professional and intensely personal. His journey with grief began when, as a child, he witnessed a mass shooting at the same time his mother was dying. For most of his life, Kessler taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about end of life, trauma, and grief, as well as leading talks and retreats for those experiencing grief. Despite his knowledge, his life was upended by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. How does the grief expert handle such a tragic loss? He knew he had to find a way through this unexpected, devastating loss, a way that would honor his son. That, ultimately, was the sixth stage of grief—meaning. In Finding Meaning, Kessler shares the insights, collective wisdom, and powerful tools that will help those experiencing loss.

“Beautiful, tender, and wise” (Katy Butler, author of The Art of Dying Well), Finding Meaning is “an excellent addition to grief literature that helps pave the way for steps toward healing” (School Library Journal). Développement personnel Perte et deuil Relations Chagrin Santé mentale

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Grief expert David Kessler's narration has the stamp of a healer or mental health practitioner. The collaborator of Elizabeth Kubler–Ross discusses how the final stage of grief—acceptance—is not usually the end of the story for the loved ones of those who have died. Kessler sounds earnest, relaxed, and, above all, palpably committed to his work and message. His vocal intensity always sounds fitting and authentic. He recounts personal stories of loss from clients and his own life that are central to illustrating his point that grief is different for everyone and will always express itself in its own way. He says what's important is quieting ourselves enough to honor and listen to it, in ourselves or others, rather than smothering it with advice or denying it."

You know he knows what he is talking about, because you can feel it in his voice and words. Thoughtful and powerful. Thank you.

David Kessler's book is so beautifully written and spoken, full of wisdom and love. While it brought me to tears over and over, it also opened my heart and mind. It speaks to anyone who has had a loss, including the loss of a beloved pet, and offers them a roadmap through the ever so challenging terrain they are walking. I have just sent a copy of the book to a friend who lost his wife and is still suffering. I feel confident that this will serve him well. Thank you David for all you shared here. Your words travel deep as does your compassion and love.

Beautifully written and read!

This was the first book I’ve read by David Kessler and now I realize he is a very gifted specialist on grief. I took a lot from the numerous anonymous stories of grieving people, and Kessler’s personal story. Those make the book so relatable and powerful. I’m sure that I’ll read it again. I’m grateful for this book.

This book was time well spent.

I can only hear it through one side of headphone

The author is truly an expert on the subject of grief and his delivery of the material is absolutely perfect. He also covers important topics like addiction, mental illness, and suicide, which really helps to round out the subject. This review was written by the Amazon member’s spouse.

Meaningful, well worth the time and attention, great delivery
