Rabbi Mel Glazer has written a very moving, wise, and insightful book about grieving and loss. Grief can destroy us, or make us stronger, depending on our attitude. Rabbi Glazer, through his wide training and broad experience, has provided a wealth of assistance to all of us, since no one is a total stranger to loss, grief and death. As an experienced rabbi and pastoral counselor, he draws on the key books of the Hebrew Bible as a jumping-off point to explore the main themes of grief recovery, including bargaining, fear, shock and anger, wandering, faith and strength, forgiveness, legacy, creating a new family, and preparing for the future. He shows us how to move through and beyond grief into a life of hope and fulfillment.

| First let me say that Rabbi Glazer was just wonderful and his book was such a pleasure to read. I loved the way he began each chapter with scripture and then blended his own experiences into making his point. I have to say that the class was not at all what I expected. Most of our classes have been somewhat somber, and I fully expected this one to be the same or even more intense, but instead I was energized and engaged. His humor, his experience, his approach was so refreshing, helpful and hopeful. I think his book is full of powerful truths that can help those grieving and those who are there along side of them. |
