His work continues to help victims and those who love them to honestly acknowledge their abuse, understand the unique challenge of repentance for victims of abuse, and learn to love boldly in defiance of their trauma. Ultimately Dan offers the bold assurance to sexual abuse victims that even they can find their way to joy and hope in the comforting embrace of a good God. The Wounded Heart has sold over 400,000 copies and has been the first book family, friends, counselors, pastors, and victims have turned to in search of Christian answers to the calamity of sexual abuse.

Decades later, she and David Kessler wrote the classic On Grief and Grieving, introducing the stages of grief with the same transformative pragmatism and compassion. Now, based on hard-earned personal experiences, as well as knowledge and wisdom gained through decades of work with the grieving, Kessler introduces a critical sixth stage: meaning. Kessler's insight is both professional and intensely personal. His journey with grief began when, as a child, he witnessed a mass shooting at the same time his mother was dying. For most of his life, Kessler taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about end of life, trauma, and grief, as well as leading talks and retreats for those experiencing grief. Despite his knowledge, his life was upended by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. How does the grief expert handle such a tragic loss? He knew he had to find a way through this unexpected, devastating loss, a way that would honor his son. That, ultimately, was the sixth stage of grief--meaning. In Finding Meaning, Kessler shares the insights, collective wisdom, and powerful tools that will help those experiencing loss. \"Beautiful, tender, and wise\" (Katy Butler, author of The Art of Dying Well), Finding Meaning is \"an excellent addition to grief literature that helps pave the way for steps toward healing\" (School Library Journal).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Helping others is one way to heal; that's a message readers will find in Kessler's new book, [which] contains many messages about the nature of grief and how society supports, or doesn't, the basic human need to mourn...Finding Meaning is Kessler's poignant response to society's insensitivity, [a] how-to in the very best sense...With an accessibility reminiscent of author and neurologist Oliver Sacks, Kessler writes of how our brains are wired for grief - how survivors often become trapped in guilt and relive their loved one's final moments without remembering happier times too.\" -Nick Owchar, Los Angeles Times \"Some people find meaning through belief in an afterlife; for others it comes from recalling fond memories of the loved ones they lost...The pain of grief is a natural reaction to the loss of someone you love.
