In this brief monologue, grief specialist and bereaved individual David Kessler challenges the common advice to "let go" of a deceased spouse, partner, or fiancé. He argues that letting go and seeking closure are unhelpful, and instead promotes the concept of "continuing bonds"—maintaining a relationship with the loved one after death by finding new ways to express love in their absence. Kessler invites listeners to consider practical methods for continuing to show love to those who have passed.
