“We recently had David present the Grieve Upward Seminar at Citipionte Church’s 4 locations in Brisbane. If you have dealt with any form of loss this seminar is for you. Having faced the loss of a wife and a daughter, David’s approach in this seminar is compassionate, loving and full of truth. The keys presented are thought provoking and provide an avenue that you can make it through any challenging time in life and keep moving forward. I personally know that people who attended were inspired, discovered hope and found great strategies for dealing with their loss.”

“We had a stillborn son in May 2013 and grieve the loss of our son on a daily basis. There were times when the grief would be so overwhelming that we would become reclusive, argue, sleep a lot or overeat. Attending the Grieve Upwards workshop has been one step in our grief journey. We now realise that our time spent on earth is so short in comparison to the eternity we will spend together with Gabriel in heaven – this has brought us much comfort. We have also learnt that there are a few triggers that can set our thought patterns into negative territories. This is still a work in progress for us and the more we make ourselves aware of the triggers, the better the response. Thank you Dave for sharing your valuable insight in this area on how to grieve upwards.”

“In general, people felt very connected with you from the outset. You were relatable and non-judgmental. The content and flow was great. I particularly loved the practical elements, such as the blood chemistry stuff. You tackled the difficult questions with wisdom and sensitivity. People felt connected with you, and that they could be honest about how they were feeling. The testimonies and movie were inspiring.”
