A body that doesn’t feel like yours anymore. A future you had hoped for that’s not coming. A relationship that quietly became something different than you had imagined. David Kessler, one of the world’s foremost experts on grief and loss, spent decades working alongside Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and has since helped millions of people understand what grief really is.

Coming in June: more essays on what’s happening in your body in midlife, the questions you keep asking, what’s worth your attention right now, and what I’m thinking about. Plus a Summer Reset series on The Healing Catalyst Podcast, returning to episodes I keep reaching for and recommending.

See you next week.

With love,
Avanti 💫
