I'm a Father who
lost his daughter.
I too have personally experienced loss. I am a father who lost his daughter, Jackie, to a brain tumor at 5 years old. I understand how different our lives become after loss.
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A BIG HUG! This course is for the brokenhearted, those s who have been robbed of a loved one. Losing a loved one is one of the most formidable challenges you'll ever face but it is possible to navigate life without them and discover hope, meaning, and purpose in a way that honors their memory.

I recommend this course to others, especially those who deal with grief in their vocations. It provides an excellent practical toolkit to process personal grief and at the same time, equips one to help others.
“Dave has a gift of putting into words the language
of the soul...”
Through his Grief Course and writings, Dr. Dave taught me how to sit with, make space for, and honor my grief. He has a gift of putting into words the language of the soul and has helped me to articulate things that I felt deeply but couldn't find words to express and to live with my grief in new ways. I highly recommend taking his grief course.
