About the Author

So you want to know a little bit more about me? Thanks for clicking on this page.

I enjoy writing, speaking, consulting, counseling and equipping people with practical tools that help them transition through loss.

I love it when people email me, phone me or come into the office and say, "This stuff really works! I wish that I had known about this information before. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and pain."

This information helps people no matter where they're at and that jazzes me.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in History and Psychology and a Master's Degree in Theology and Pastoral Care from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon. I've continued to delve into the area of Thanatology (the study of death, dying and grief), which has become my passion.

I meet with families and individual clients in my counseling practice who are experiencing loss, in between my training and speaking events. I love my life!

Indeed my story is important, as is each of yours. My first wife, Pam, died at age 47, following a 5-year battle with cancer. We still miss her deeply. That unexpected event in our personal journey has obviously impacted my work and helped to form and shape my practical approaches to loss. When you go through grief yourself, you need to figure out what works best for you. I was very intentional in this process.

My books reflect my experience. Finding Anchors is the first book in my five part "Transitional Loss" series. The others will follow soon. Come and visit me at www.rickbergh.com
