David Kessler: The Decision to Live Again 

“Every breath hurts”. My daughter passed away. She was 16. I have been trying to catch my breath ever since. So grateful for this this video, for David. I finally feel heard, understood. Sending love and compassion to everyone who is grieving ❤️🌻

I am so glad nobody understands. I wouldn't wish loss of my child on anyone. It's the worst thing that can ever happen. I am now bullet proof, living in Israel, by the sea, so I can see Gd's sunset, every night. He is real and with me. With Gd, I am a majority of One!❤

I love this man.

That is one of the things that bothers me what people say, when they say I look good or sound good…I don’t know how grief is supposed to look? But that is the face I put on to do my job or be I public, but inside, like David said it hurts to breathe.

I'm so sad for your loss. The story hit me about being the guy the neighbors and kids feared. As a woman I have been turning into that woman....I need to start the gym as soon as my car is fixed...2 years of grief right now...and hiding it.....thank God for therapist. And I am liking your videos, thank you.

My beloved husband died 15 months ago and we were married for 57 years. Your words resonate exactly what I am feeling and give me some hope, thank you.

Losing my mom was like losing my life.

I agree, since my mom passed 12 yrs. ago it hasn't been the same. I've accepted it, but I miss her so much. We lived in a 2 family house for 50 yrs. It's still very hard! I'm in counseling & thank God my healing journey is not going as fast as I would like it to. Hopefully, God has given me many miracles to help me. Good friends & family.

It has gotten now where I'm not sure which loss started it. Most of what I recall is.the sorrow and sadness on days like today.

I lost my wife on July 28th, 2024. When my wife’s body was shutting down, I remember an experience I had with Joyce. It was this quiet experience of taking her watch off her wrist and struggling to take the wedding ring off her finger. Upon putting her watch and her ring in my pocket, I experienced a shock in my heart of all the Holy Hope she gave me over the years. I could feel my heart's striking connection to Hope and this healthy Hope is to be shocked into awareness. I now have shock of seeing my fixated state of separation I was in with her and the separation with myself, in our 29 years of marriage. There is even a shock of this rich consciousness of not being completely in control of myself and yet having this secure strength in Holy Hope that gives me a choice. It is a conscious choice to no longer allow hopelessness or separation to do its tricks on me. It is a choice that gives my heart strength to be in the beauty of her Hope that is life-changing. Even at the expense of pain in my heart, her gift of great outpouring of Holy Hope is amazing and opening my heart to her gift is awesome, sometimes overwhelming.

Just lost my husband suddenly; he died horribly from Glioblastoma. His absence is so painful.

I have no support at all in my grief David. All are dead. Friends have abandoned. I have God. Is that enough?

🙏... i have grief, i have depression. I am unable to let go/ move on, everyone keeps saying. My loss, is completely devastating ( you know). I also have guilt & regret. I know this loss, .. was my fault. Living is so difficult now for me. Im in prison at home, unable to leave, with absolutely no desire to do, or go anywhere. I have anhedonia, insomnia, anxiety and ..... indescribable pain thats mentally, spiritually and now bodily. How !! Do i live ( not just eat & breath ). I lost my career job, and now have nothing.. no structure, purpose, friends, routine, familiar place to go and be apart of. ... im so devastated.

Wonderful speaker, with inspiring words of wisdom. I feel like grief and hope can be somehow shared starting at children’s school age level❤️Thank you. 15:03

My neighbor thinks i should be moving on after losing my sister to Pancreatic cancer 8 weeks ago 💔

What a BEAUTIFUL beautiful, teaching. Truly🙏 I breathe it into my ❤

It’s something underscribable losing my mom who loves unconditionally understand all of me my bastion my pillar if strength and with one call from the hospital everything changes no one can understand that feeling each of us who lost our loved one would probably have a different experience but what’s is the same for all there us a vacum

11 months since my mum passed away, still in denial 😢

Having to grieve before people are actually gone is definitely a struggle

I don't agree with this man.. grief never ends & those not in grief will not be by your side!!!! After awhile everyone throws you aside...

Your life David is a great example of a survivor, and an overcomer. Love cannot die! You said that, and I will never forget it! Thank you.

I e been watching your videos it's 2:29 in the morning I just found your videos and I need this it's been months since my granddaughter passed she passed Dec 18 2022 now it's April 24 2023. I raised her from a baby my daughter is greiving I understand that she told me my greif was not as bad as hers because she carried her 9 months! The the day treated her like she was the mother gave her chair made sure I felt I had just lost a child and everyone looked at her like she was the mother but she wasn't in her life so I feel guilty greivingespecially if she's around I feel so lost I don't know where I belong in her life she had she was 31 she Dec 18 2022its April 2023. I'm still greiving

The Broken Ribs analogy 💔❤️‍🩹. I lost someone 3 months ago.. he was the love of my life and soulmate. He died suddenly, out of nowhere...and is still quite unknown what happened to him. We were going through a relationship mess in the moment of his death. This feels like a reset. It's devastating. I just said to my friend, that i am going to end up as this spooky elderly woman, who does this crazy reaserch on the unexplained death case of her ex fiancé. If I ever get out of the bed.
