In this episode we meet Dave Roberts who has been a national and local workshop presenter on grief and loss and a keynote speaker. His commitment to helping others navigate grief is a result of the challenges that he experienced following the death of his 18-year-old daughter Jeannine in March of 2003 due to cancer.

This interview is taken from a recording of a live event in collaboration with the non-profit organization Reimagine whose mission is to create space for conversation around topics of grief, end of life, living fully, spirituality, and the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.  Because it was a live event, there is participation from other attendees. I chose to leave their comments in because I feel that they add to Dave's story and the overall experience. Some nuggets that Dave shares in this episode include:

~"When we either share or witness somebody's story we become love."

~"I had to make friends with my sadness, my grief, and my own inadequacy."

~"Be gentle with yourself"

~"Take the best qualities of your loved one and make them part of yourselves."

~Don't forget the siblings.

~'Honor the past as your teacher, honor your present as your creation, and honor the future as your inspiration.'
