Show Notes

If you've ever struggled with a great loss in your life, then do we have the Finding Meaning show for you.

Today I'll be talking with David Kessler, the world's foremost expert on grief, the co-author of "On Grief and Grieving" and "Life Lessons" with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and "You Can Heal Your Heart" with Louise L. Hay, and his latest and perhaps most important creation, "Finding Meaning."

And that's just what I want to talk with him about today, about the sixth stage of grief and what it means to all of us.

Key Points Discussed:

  • What to do to feel better when we are grieving a loved one (03:10)
  • Would you mind sharing what happened with your son? (07:01)
  • Finding meaning: What we have control over after a loss (12:26)
  • What took place on New Year's Eve '72 and the weeks that followed? (15:41)
  • The different forms of grief we experience in life (23:00)
  • What happens if we try to avoid sadness and grief? (25:13)
  • Curiosity about how at the end of life people see loved ones who have already died (27:30)
  • How writing allows us to witness our own grief and deal with the thoughts of our mind (33:27)
  • Listening to our loved one's body when it is winding down (37:26)
  • The idea that even our most ordinary day could be enough for us (44:12)
  • Learning to live with grief in a way that honors those we've lost (46:08)
  • How do we know when it's time to be present? (50:54)
  • What is Takotsubo/Broken Heart Syndrome? (53:03)
