Early Parent Loss: A Conversation with Hope Edelman & David Kessler

Free Online Event · Wednesday, June 3 · 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET

When a parent dies during childhood, the grief doesn’t end when childhood does.

Join renowned author and grief educator Hope Edelman in conversation with grief expert David Kessler for a powerful and compassionate discussion on the lifelong impact of early parent loss.

This free online event will introduce the Six Pillars of Early Parent Loss, a framework for understanding why grief from losing a parent in childhood often resurfaces across different stages of life, relationships, milestones, and transitions.

Many grief models focus on acute loss, but early parent loss often unfolds differently. This conversation offers insight, language, and understanding for professionals supporting others through grief, as well as individuals navigating their own experiences of loss.
