The only constant now is loss.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us have lost loved ones AND the comfort of mourning together as families and communities.
We’ve all lost time, routines, income, connections... The normalcy of life as we knew it is gone.
Not only that, but many of your clients are struggling with trauma. And ALL trauma has grief because trauma IS loss.
The loss of innocence, trust, freedom, stability, even their worldview may be shattered after trauma.
Grief is a normal reaction to trauma, which means that if you treat clients with trauma, you also need to know how to treat grief.
Knowing Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s renowned five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) is a start. But there’s more to it than that.
In fact, a sixth stage of grief has been officially added to the grieving framework (with permission from her family and The Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation).
And it’s here, in this stage, where clients find the power to transform their grief, move away from suffering, and find peace and hope after loss.
In this all-new online course from the world’s foremost expert on grief, David Kessler, you’ll discover how to guide clients and patients through life’s worst moments to find a life worth living.

“People always want to know if there is life after death for their loved ones.
I believe there is, but more importantly, there is life after death for the living.
I want to help them find meaning that honours their loved ones.
Sometimes when we are at our worst, we can find our best.”
~ David Kessler

This training is for anyone and everyone, since we’ll all experience grief. CPD credit is provided for:
Grief gets stuck in our body and the body remembers. Sometimes consciously or unconsciously we push grief down until we feel nothing, which can then manifest as illness or depression, or until it explodes in anger, self-harm, and other negative behaviours.
But Grief Yoga—even this simple chair practice that anyone can do—helps clients address their pain and release pent-up emotions from their body to find emotional freedom and a path forward to healing.
Life during the Covid-19 pandemic has been challenging for everyone. We’re experiencing many collective losses, and many individuals are grieving loved ones. How do we honour our grief during a time when our traditional mourning rituals have been stripped away? In this video, David gives practical tips and strategies for processing these many layers of grief so we can all move forward, together and individually.
Your clients may be asking for a clear direction out of their pain. How do you deal with questions like, “When will this pain end?” How and when can you help the client shift from feeling pain to experiencing healing?
In this digital seminar, David Kessler looks closely at how death shapes our grief, and explores appropriate interventions and talking points to use in your session.
You’ll leave this training with a better understanding of how to approach the sensitivities of grief and learn the importance of grieving in your clients’ healing process.
These powerful coping strategies can help anyone heal and rebuild after loss. This easy-to-use card deck has 55 practices that focus on your response to loss, understanding grief, and healing - all remembering that grief is evidence of your love.
