In Conversation with Janina Fisher: Wisdom Between Colleagues; Insights For Us All1 Huhti

Avoiding Grief Might Be Part of Healing

In this moving conversation, trauma therapist Janina Fisher speaks with grief expert David Kessler about the evolving understanding of grief and its deep connection to trauma. Reflecting on his work with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and his own personal loss, Kessler shares how the concept of a sixth stage of grief—meaning—emerged. Together, they explore why grief is never linear, how compassion supports healing, and how loss can gradually be integrated into a life that continues to hold love, purpose, and connection.

Key Takeaways:

Why grief is not a linear process
The meaning behind the “sixth stage” of grief
How trauma and loss intersect in healing
Why compassion and connection matter in grief recovery
