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).

Opinie krytyków

"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."

This book was recommended to me as a fundamental text for anyone considering working in grief counseling. Without a doubt, it will be foundational literature if I do pursue that career path, but more importantly, it gave me what I feel is essential information for living (and dying) as a human being on this earth. Like the author, and no doubt many others in this important profession, my own personal experiences with grief have led me to consider helping others. However, as I listened to the audiobook, so wonderfully read by David Kessler himself, I am deep in the wild emotions following my own recent loss. Although most of what he has written can apply to the death of anyone you love, I was initially disappointed that there wasn't a chapter on pet loss. I know from having spent the last 2 months desperately consuming the vast amount of support for this disenfranchised grief that I am far from alone from feeling devastated by the death of my soul dog (or any kind of pet), and I had hoped this particular experience would be touched upon in the book. However, no sooner had I thought this, did the author speak about the absolute validity of a friend's grief over their dog - even in comparison with his own loss of his beloved son, David. It may not be perfectly accurate, but "where there is love, there is grief". Pet loss is mentioned several times throughout the book, always treated as the same as any other grief. As it should be, if that's how you feel. I am just about ready to begin thinking and eventually acting on how to find meaning. Honoring my beautiful dog and his unconditional love, loyalty.joy, and ability to live in the moment by actively trying to emulate those things in all my affairs. I start that process by allowing myself the time and space to grieve Pani fully; I will naturally move forward when I am ready, carrying him with me.

Everyone needs to read this book, to learn how to help ourselves and others survive grief.
