Mourning & Meaning: Coping with Loss During the Holidays with David Kessler

The holiday season is upon us. It’s a time reserved for joy and togetherness, but for those grieving the loss of a loved one, it can be a challenging season. Beyond our own grief, it can be difficult to support our friends and loved ones who have experienced a loss. How can we come together this holiday season to offer healing and support?

I recently spoke with renowned grief expert and author David Kessler on the Celebrations Chatter podcast to learn what we can do to help ourselves and others as we move through grief. As Founder of Grief.com, David’s work impacts millions of people worldwide every year. We touched on practical aspects of grief, covering everything from comforting the bereaved to creating a supportive environment at work. Most importantly, David shared some valuable perspective on finding meaning in loss, which can be especially challenging during the holidays.
