In this heartfelt conversation, Kelsey Grammer discusses his new book, 'Karen: A Brother Remembers,' which delves into the tragic story of his sister's murder and the profound impact it had on his life. He shares insights on grief, faith, and forgiveness, reflecting on how these experiences shaped him as an artist. The discussion also touches on the importance of family, the process of writing the book, and the memories of his late friend George Wendt. Be sure to check out the ⁠On Brand with Donny Deutsch YouTube page⁠. There you will find all of Donny's conversations in video form. Takeaways Kelsey Grammer's new book is a tribute to his sister Karen. The inspiration for the book came from a medium's message. Grief can coexist with joy in memories of loved ones. Faith can provide comfort in times of tragedy. Forgiveness is a personal journey, not easily achieved. Artistic expression can be influenced by personal pain. Kelsey reflects on the impact of loss on his career. Closure can be found in revisiting painful memories. Understanding the 'why' of tragedy is complex and often elusive. The bond of family remains strong despite loss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
