For many, the holiday season is filled with family, joy and celebration. But for those who have recently experienced a death loss, it can be a season filled with apprehension and sadness. We have offered Coping with the Holidays for many years to all of our community with the goal of helping those affected by grief during the holiday season.
During this two hour gathering, David Kessler, one of the world’s foremost experts on healing and loss will lead us through a discussion titled "Coping with the Holidays - Finding Meaning after Loss". His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has helped him develop practical strategies for healing while others are celebrating.
Mr. Kessler is the author of five bestselling books, including the newly released You Can Heal Your Heart: Finding Peace After Breakup, Divorce or Death with Louise Hay. He co-authored two bestsellers with the legendary Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: On Grief and Grieving and Life Lessons. His first book, The Needs of the Dying, a #1 best-selling hospice book, received praise by Mother Teresa. His services have been used by Elizabeth Taylor, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Marianne Williamson when their loved ones faced life-challenging illnesses. He also worked with late actors Anthony Perkins and Michael Landon. David’s work has been featured on CNN, NBC, Fox, PBS, and Dr Oz. David is a contributing writer for Oprah.com, Dr. Oz’s Sharecare.com, Anderson Cooper 360 and The Huffington Post .
