On Grief and GrievingBy Elisabeth Kübler Ross and David KesslerElisabeth Kübler-Ross’s On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life. Before her own death in 2004, she and David Kessler completed On Grief and Grieving, which looks at the way we experience the process of grief. Just as On Death and Dying taught us the five stages of death - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the grieving process and weaves together theory,

inspiration, and practical advice, including sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, isolation, and healing.

You Can Heal Your HeartBy Louise Hey & David Kessler In You Can Heal Your Heart, self-help luminary Louise Hay and renowned grief and loss expert David Kessler, the protégé of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, have come together to start a conversation on healing grief. This remarkable book discusses the emotions that occur when a relationship leaves you brokenhearted, a marriage ends in divorce, or a loved one dies. It will also foster awareness and compassion, providing you with the courage to face many other types of losses and challenges, such as saying good-bye to a beloved pet,

losing your job, coming to terms with a life-threatening illness or disease, and much more. With a perfect blend of Louise’s teachings and affirmations on personal growth and transformation and David’s many years of working with those in grief, this empowering book will inspire an extraordinary new way of thinking, bringing hope and fresh insights into your life and even your current and future relationships. You will not only learn how to help heal your grief, but you will also discover that, yes, you can heal your heart.

The Needs of the DyingBy David KesslerIn gentle, compassionate language, The Needs of the Dying helps us through the last chapter of our lives. Author David Kessler has identified key areas of concern: the need to be treated as a living human being, the need for hope, the need to express emotions, the need to participate in care, the need for honesty, the need for spirituality, and the need to be free of physical pain.

Visions, Trips, and Crowded Rooms: Who and What You See Before You DieBy David KesslerDavid takes on three uniquely shared experiences that challenge our ability to explain and fully understand the mystery of our final days. The first is “visions.” As the dying lose sight of this world, they often begin to see and talk with those who have already died. The second experience is getting ready for a “trip.” In fact, during our loved ones’ last hours, they may

often think of their impending death as a transition or journey. These trips may seem to us to be all about leaving, but for the dying, they may be about arriving. Finally, the third phenomenon is “crowded rooms.” The dying often talk about seeing a room full of people, as they constantly repeat the word crowded.

Heal Your Heart After Grief: Help Your Clients Find Peace After Break-Ups, Divorce, Death and Other LossesBy David Kessler

This seminar is based on David Kessler’s newest book, You Can Heal Your Heart, co-authored with the legendary Louise Hay which will be released early 2014. In a perfect

blend, Louise’s life-changing thought processes as well as David’s years of working with those in grief will inform you and inspire an extraordinary new way of thinking and treating your clients.

David Kessler, best-selling author, collaborator with the groundbreaking Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, will provide you with the newest information on healing all kinds of grief.
