“Grief Is Love With Nowhere to Go”… Or Not?
In this brief video, grief specialist David Kessler examines two common sayings about grief—“Grief is love with nowhere to go” and “Love never dies.” He explains that each phrase resonates with different people at different stages of mourning, illustrating the first when the desire for physical connection with a lost loved one feels impossible, and the second when love is perceived as enduring beyond death. Kessler shares his own bereavement experiences, describing moments when he longs to hug his deceased son or walk with his parents, as well as times when he feels he continues to parent and love his son daily. He concludes that both sayings can be true simultaneously, depending on the individual’s emotional state, and invites viewers to share their thoughts and follow for further support.
