Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1965DM He handed out advice like candy at Halloween. Go see a counselor. Go to a grief group. Then his son died, and David Kessler had to take his own advice. It took him three tries to walk through the door. Traffic. No parking. This shouldn't be happening to me. He finally sat down with other parents who had buried their children. On the table sat books about grief. His books. He couldn't be the author in that room. He had to be the father who lost a son. Denial came. So did acceptance. But acceptance felt like a floor, not a way through. So he went back to Viktor Frankl and found the thing that cracked it open. The meaning is not in the death. The meaning is in who you become after it. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

  • If you grieve well, you live well.

  • If you get stuck in the breakup, the job loss, whatever it is, you're not going to do well.

  • So I was really honored to work with Kubler-Ross.

  • She taught me and I was able to do a couple

  • of books with her and adapt her stages of dying to stages of grief formally with her.

  • And about nine years ago, I thought my grief was long behind me.

  • And my younger son, David, died unexpectedly.

  • And as brutal as you would imagine, I was on the floor.

  • And I remember back then that at some point, I thought, I have to find a way through this.

  • What do I do for other people?

  • Now, you're the grief expert.
