Ask them about their style.
Tell them briefly about you.
They may or you may ask to start with an initial meeting. In person is the best way to assess if you are a match.

My later wife, Kinsloe, and I (along with 20 other healthcare professionals) created Kitchen Table Conversations (KTC), a not-for-profit, to invite you into conversations where you learn how to:
1) have “the conversation” with your loved ones and healthcare providers about what matters most to you at the end of your life, and,
2) provide grief education and support to those who will be here after you’re gone.
We achieve our mission by offering…

David Kessler’s Grief Educator Certification, 2025
Services Offered
I am an online Grief Group Leader for bereaved parents brought together by a non profit, Love in the Trenches, that is based in Baltimore. We are parents that have lost our children due to substance use disorder.
In addition to my work with Love in the Trenches, I support those in their grief locally in Austin, in person and anywhere in the world, online. If you are interested in 1:1 support, please contact me for more information.
I combine my lived experience having lost my daughter to SUD in 2022, what I have learned in my personal grief work and in collaboration with others, study and reflection, as well as, via David Kessler’s certification process, to assist those experiencing grief in a thoughtful manner.
