Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 11, 2013 -- Every year millions of people face grief after the death of a loved one.

Meet grief.com, a new online resource developed by grief and loss expert, David Kessler, the protégé of the legendary grief expert Elisabeth Kübler Ross. - She created The five stages of loss.
Grief.com offers not only help for the holidays, but also help for anyone dealing with loss any time of the year. There are also written resources as well as an extensive video library.
