From Mourning to Morning

By: Rabbi Mel Glazer
  • Summary

  • Rabbi Mel Glazer dedicates his life to helping people face loss, because he himself has faced loss. His father died the day before his twelfth birthday. Yet he has moved beyond the emotional pain which accompanies loss. So can you. Drawn to a life of service to others, he became a Rabbi, a Doctor of Ministry, and then a Grief Authority so he could help others find a better way to heal from their losses. His two award-winning books have helped thousands of grievers find direction in their response to loss. Whether we are of any faith, or of no faith at all, losing loved ones inspires some of the deepest spiritual questions we will ever face in our lives. What meaning can we find in our losses? Where do we begin? Rabbi Mel connects his life as a leader of his community with his life as a supporter and comforter of other mourners. From this unique position, he has a great deal to teach us about facing loss. Rabbi Mel makes it possible for us to go “from mourning to morning.”

  • Laughter in the Face of Tears
    Mar 30 2017
    When you lose someone whom you loved, your first thought is to cry, right? Makes sense. But my guest Nancy Weil believes and teaches that laughter also has a place in healing your pain. She has spent years in the funeral business and the laughter business, and you will learn that she is correct-laughter in the face of loss is important, not un-natural, and helpful. Find out what she has to say, you may be surprised... While grief is expressed in different ways for every person, having some tools to help you get through a difficult time can help ease the pain. Therapeutic laughter not only reduces stress, but helps balance the emotions by boosting the immune system and giving you permission to laugh and feel joy, even for a moment. Presenter, Nancy Weil, has conducted research into how humor can be used as a coping tool. This program will help you understand why “when you feel the least like laughing is when you need to the most. See you TH at 5PM PST.

  • The Bereavement Cruise is Set to Sail
    Mar 16 2017
    So we have talked for over a year about loss and healing, about many topics which have approached this main topic. Here is a new possibility: A Grief Cruise! That's right, next Feb. of 2018 a group of grievers will be together to discuss their losses and to share their successes. Healing is tough, we already know that. Perhaps being together on a cruise will set the tone for healing to take place. My guest, Glen Lord, will talk to us about last year;s cruise, and invite you to join him in Feb. I know it's a year away, but it is not too early to find out about it. Look forward to being with you this Thursday night.
