What Nobody Tells You About Grief and Loss

Hey. It's your friend, Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Today, you and I are gonna cover a topic that over 18,000 of you have emailed in asking me to get a world class expert to come talk about. It is one of the most requested topics that I've never discussed on this podcast. What nobody tells you about grief and loss. And I wanna say something before we jump in. Thank you. Thank you for hitting play. This can be a hard topic for every one of us to lean into, and so I am so proud of you and proud of myself for being here. Now I've waited until now to have this conversation because I needed the right person to guide you and me through this topic, and that person is David Kessler. David has over thirty years of experience helping people through unimaginable loss, and David also knows what it's like to lose someone. He's lived it. He's studied it. He's taught it. And today, he is here in our Boston studios for you and the people that you care about. He's gonna walk you through the science and process of healing from grief, and he's also gonna explain why love and grief are a package deal. He'll share what no one else tells you about grief and loss, and he's gonna do it in a way that you've never heard before. This conversation is also about what comes next. Living with grief with more peace, more grace, more laughter, and more meaning. You're gonna discover how to carry your love forward without being trapped in pain or guilt. You're gonna get the tools for how to deal with intense emotions when they crash in. And you're also gonna learn what to say and the things to never say in grief, whether you're the one grieving and you're saying it to yourself, or you're just trying to support someone who is. By the end of our conversation, you're gonna feel less alone, and you're gonna look at this topic and what's possible completely differently. Because it's gonna open the door to healing, happiness, hope, and give you the road map to living a more meaningful life after loss. Hey.
