David Kessler & Elisabeth
Kübler- Ross working on the
five stages of grief

Praise for David Kessler,
The Needs of the Dying
“This book is a source of reflection over that most mysterious and beautiful moment which awaits us all. It helps people to understand that death is the full surrender of ourselves to love, like a falling into the arms of God.”
—Mother Teresa

Praise for On Grief and Grieving
“Elisabeth Kübler-Ross deserves to be remembered because her life and work have made this world a better place. On Grief and Grieving is a heartfelt tribute to all who have lost a loved one from a woman who changed our lives by changing our relationship to death and dying. What a wonderful book Elisabeth and David have written”
—Carolyn Myss

Praise for Life Lessons
“Elisabeth Kübler-Ross left us one last gift, and it’s a masterpiece. Having illumined the subject of death, she has now illumined the subject of grief. She and grief expert David Kessler have written a modern classic, the kind of book that all of us will want to keep on our bookshelves because we know it speaks to our deepest hearts.”

—Marianne Williamson

Dear Friend,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. Many of you have written in about Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. I flashed back to an incredible day years ago when I brought a group of terminally ill children to his Neverland Ranch. Michael spent an entire magical day there with us. To help deal with all that has happened, I have added some helpful information about Public Grief on the site. Please take time to read about it. I hope it will be helpful in understanding why we feel such loss about people we didn’t actually know.

I hope that this site will be a source of information, resources and comfort. I know from many of you, if you are here, you are facing some of the most difficult times of your life; and perhaps dealing with the unfamiliar terrain that death and grief can bring with it.

My goal is to provide you with free tools and resources to help guide you through situations you may be facing. This may be a time when you feel very alone and I hope some of the information in this page can help you deal with what’s in front of you.

As a writer, I believe we read to feel less alone in the world. As a healthcare professional, I believe we never feel more alone than when a loved-one is facing a life challenging illness or has died.

On the left-hand side of the page, you will find many different areas to help you navigate. You will also see other areas that I am interested in – such as script consultation, to help portray life more realistically on TV and film; as well as adoption, another area that is near and dear to my heart.

You will also find links to Amazon.com to buy my first book, “The Needs of the Dying”, as well as my second and third books – co-authored with the legendary Elisabeth Kübler-Ross – “Life Lessons” and “On Grief and Grieving”, at a discounted price.

I have tried to address many crucial questions in the “Frequently Asked Questions” section; however, if you feel yourself in dire need of one of my books and can’t afford one, please let me know and I will do my best to get one to you.

You may also be visiting this site for contact information about an upcoming lecture or information on my speaking for a group, university or conference you may have in mind.

Whatever your reason for being here – I’m glad you came.

David Kessler
