I’ve been exactly where you are.
I lost my dad at 14.
My mom at 26.
For years I carried it without language for what it was.
I didn’t want a program. I didn’t believe a framework would fix it. What I needed was someone willing to sit with me in the middle of it, see the weight I was carrying, and help me find language for it.
I became a David Kessler Certified Grief Educator, wrote a book for grieving teens, and built podcasts for people navigating life after loss.
The other side of this is real. Not perfect. Not painless. But real.
"Robert speaks to the part of you that's experienced loss in a way that doesn't just relate but sees. If you're feeling alone or navigating life after the loss of a parent, this can help you."
— Becka C., Listener
I Know What It’s Like to Need a Map.
I know what it feels like to keep moving while having no idea who you are anymore. I also know what it feels like to find language for it, slowly, and start building something from there.
That's the heart of this work: helping people name what loss changed and figure out what comes next.
