Isabel Stenzel and her twin sister Anabel, were both born with cystic fibrosis. They taught about what that meant and how to live with it. They wrote a book about it. Then Anabel died.
Last week we spoke to a mediator, who taught us that ending a marriage was difficult and sad, but could lead to healing. This week, two views on divorce:
In many states in our country, before a divorce is finalized, the couple must go to mediation. Most folks think that mediation is cut-and-dry, simply another waste of time. But that is not true.
I am Rabbi Mel Glazer, and this is my first show. I am delighted to be your host. I will introduce myself and you will get to know me a bit better. Then I will begin to teach what I know about grief and healing.
So you go into the back room at Panera's and you sit down with other people who have suffered a life-loss. And then you talk to each other over tea and cookies about death. Not dying, but death.
We have been talking a lot about death, and this week we will get the view from the hospice nurse herself. Emma is caring and compassionate, you will learn much from her.

About From Mourning to Morning
From the publisher's feed
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.”
