Rabbi Mel Glazer

Why are you here?

  • Are you here because you are experiencing a recent (or not-so-recent) loss?
  • Are you here because someone you know is experiencing a painful loss?
  • Are you here because you don’t know where else to go and it hurts so bad in your heart?

If so, you have come to the right place.

There are all kinds of losses in our lives …

  • Someone you love has died
  • Someone you used-to-love has died
  • A special relationship has suddenly ended
  • You have been diagnosed with a serious health problem
  • You have gotten divorced
  • You lost your job
  • You moved to a new city, leaving old friends behind
  • Your kids have left home and you’re now an empty-nester
  • A favorite pet has died
  • A loved one has made a surprising change: drugs, sex, or life-style


Your life has been affected by a loss, and you have become painfully aware that you have absolutely no idea how to deal with the emotions you are experiencing.

Death has come calling, and no one knows what to do or say, or how to help.
Including you.

Others try to be kind, but they make suggestions that do not work:
They may say…
“Time heals”— but you know it doesn’t!
“Keep busy”— but how can you do any work when all you want to do is cry?
“You’re young, you can still remarry”— but I still want This One.
“You can work this out yourself (=don’t bother me)”— but I can’t do it alone, it’s hard.
“Her death was a blessing”— perhaps, but it still hurts so bad.
“I know how you feel” — no, you really don’t!

We love what he had so much that sometimes we just can't let go. The dead stay alive in our hearts, but we the living live deadened lives. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be, and I can help.

I can help you conclude your relationship with who or what you have lost.
I can help you relieve your emotional pain and create a life of joy and contentment.
I can help you feel better.




The world teaches us how to acquire things, but it never teaches us how to lose them.
My Daddy died the day before my twelfth birthday, and it only took me thirty years to say the word “Daddy” again! I was unable to say good-bye to him.
No one should ever have to go through that, so I have devoted my life to helping others heal from the pain of their losses.

  1. I listen to your story as you tell me why it hurts so much.
  2. I learn from you about your “loss style,” the unique ways you have already responded to previous losses in your life.
  3. I explore the ways that you are responding to this particular loss.
  4. I assist you in preparing your letter of release so that you may move forward to a life of hope and celebration.
