"Every time a baby is born, God has decided that the world will continue. In the same way, every day you wake up, you’ve been given another day of life to experience. When was the last time you fully experienced that day? We all live under the stars, but do we look up at the sky? Do we really touch and taste life, do we see and feel the extraordinary, especially in the ordinary?" David Kessler's books include advice on dealing with loss from Christopher Landon (screen writer and Michael Landon’s son) and from Berry Berenson Perkins,(photographer and wife of Anthony Perkins) In addition to his own writings on grief, he has co-authored two books with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, author of the classic On Death and Dying and the individual who invented the five stages of grief. David has helped hundreds of men, women and children face death with peace, dignity and courage.
