David Kessler believes in people-centred care when caring for people on their deathbeds.

“We can’t take away the pain of death, but we can help people find a little more meaning in those tough, tough days of their life,” said Kessler, a leading expert on death and grief from Los Angeles and the founder of www.Grief.com. “It’s important to tell families and loved ones what they’re going to experience when they’re at the end of their life so that they’re prepared and realizing that what they’re feeling is normal and that they’re going to be loved and taken care of during that time of life.”
