Question from Camilla

Hi David,

My best friend lost her son over a year ago from an undiagnosed heart defect. Understandably, the loss devastated her family but a year later, she is still deeply depressed and cannot seem to get past his death. I know that there is no way to ever completely recover from such a profoun... More

Question from Kara

Hi David,

Last fall I lost my mother after she suffered a heart attack while on vacation. The suddenness of her death was overwhelming in scope and it has only been in the last couple of months that I feel myself coming back to some semblance of normalcy and learning to cope with life without he... More

Question from John--NEW

Good afternoon Mr. Kessler,

I hope you can help me. A year and a half ago my partner of 34 years passed away (gay couple). He was 63 I'm 53. He was diagnosed with cancer and I promised him he would never go to hospice or a nursing home. He told me his wishes were to pass away at home.

I did my... More

Question from Dreamy1963--NEW

Good Morning Mr. Kessler,

I found the obituary of the man I have loved for the last 3 1/2 years on the internet and my name was excluded as if I didn't exist. The family loved me up until 3 months ago until his child—who was rebellious prior to his death—fabricated things in her defense to the g... More

Question from Lisa

Hi David,

I've written you before, something about your face is trusting. I still cry everyday over my son's passing the day after his 29th birthday (5/16/05). I see him everywhere I go. The memories are tearing me up rather than comfort me. Oh well, another day down.

God bless.

Lisa

Question from Susan

Dear David,

After my husband's death, I encountered many problems with his family and my family not being supportive with helping me cope with our loss and my grief...therefore I feel like we should move to a place where nobody judges us. You know, a "fresh start." Is this something I should pur... More

Question from Theresa

Hi David,

I have seen the death of loved ones many times in my life but the death of my beloved aunt was an exception. She died of lung cancer in my arms. When I left the hospital, I drove immediately to be with my uncle thinking he would need someone to be with him through this time. I don't k... More
