He handed out advice like candy at Halloween. Go see a counselor. Go to a grief group.

Then his son died, and David Kessler had to take his own advice.

It took him three tries to walk through the door. Traffic. No parking. This shouldn't be happening to me.

He finally sat down with other parents who had buried their children. On the table sat books about grief. His books.

He couldn't be the author in that room. He had to be the father who lost a son.

Denial came. So did acceptance. But acceptance felt like a floor, not a way through.

So he went back to Viktor Frankl and found the thing that cracked it open.

The meaning is not in the death. The meaning is in who you become after it.
