Description
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.”

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.
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.
What do you when a child dies? Do you forget about them, consign them to oblivion? No, of course not!
You remember them forever. And that is our topic for this evening.

Here is a new possibility: A Grief Cruise!
That's right, next Feb.
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.

Well, we know that we think differently, but do we grieve differently?
I don't know either, but my guest Shawn Doyle, does. He has written about it and spoken about it, and I can't wait to hear what he has to say.
This matters a lot.
I used to be a fatalist. That is, I believed that if you were given the gift of cancer, you were done living.
David Arnsteen disproves that theory every single day.

I was not even 12 years old when Daddy died. It was scary and mysterious and frightening. And we kids didn't talk about it, because our family didn't talk to us about his being sick. To this day, we're still not sure why he died.

My guest had a similar story, her parent died at when she was young. But Dr. Marilyn Mendoza has written about how and what to teach kids about grief, so that no child will ever have to go through what she and I did.
This is important, come and learn!
Bring your friends, we ll know those who need to hear this wisdom.

Have you ever had a near-death experience? I never have, but it's such an interesting and exotic topic, that I always want to know more.
My guest Dea Maltby was in a coma for t2 days, and in that time, she died and came back to life. Wow...
Did you ever wish you could make things better for those who are dying? That you could "be there" with them as they leave this earth?
But you were afraid of watching them die, of touching them, of talking to them, and you don't know what to say or do.

But you were afraid of watching them die, of touching them, of talking to them, and you don't know what to say or do. So you stay away, thus missing an enormous opportunity to help them, and help yourself as well.
My guest Deanna Cochran, can help you do what you thought was impossible, that is, assist the dying along their final journey.
Tune in and tell your friends.
You will be glad you listened, and who knows...maybe you'll try something for the very first time.
TH at 5PM PST.
From Mourning to Morning.
Blessings,
Rabbi Mel
Lots of us deal with loved ones who are afflicted with cancer. We are going to give some hints and advice for care-givers, to make your job a bit easier.
The big idea: The National Cancer Institute estimates 14 million people in the U.S.
Lots of us deal with loved ones who are afflicted with cancer. We are going to give some hints and advice for care-givers, to make your job a bit easier.
The big idea: The National Cancer Institute estimates 14 million people in the U.S. have had a cancer diagnosis, and the number is rapidly rising. More and more people must struggle with how to face a life-threatening disease, while loved ones try to give support.
Why this matters: Today, cancer treatment is mostly given in outpatient treatment centers, not in hospitals. This means a family member or friend needs to be part of the day-to-day care of the person with cancer, but they're uncertain how to provide emotional support.
The so-what: The presence alone of caregivers is just part of the support cancer patients need -- the attitudes of the caregivers may be the most important variable in helping someone with cancer transition comfortably from independence to dependence.
When you celebrate at a holiday meal, whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years Eve or even a birthday party or aniiversary party, oftentimes there are empty chairs. Chairs where loved ones use to sit last year.
