Look Up!!
What am I thinking about? What am I focused on? I ask these questions when I find myself in a dark place. When I’m sad. When I’m stuck in yesterday. When the list of what I have lost seems way too long. When my shattered dreams fill my head as the tears drip down my […]

When There’s No Tomorrow
The pain is burned into my memory. The grief is deeply etched into my soul. That day – the day my son, David Glasser who was a Phoenix Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty. May 18, 2016. It’s the day when my life as I knew it exploded. All my expectations for […]

They Don’t Know
How could they possibly know? I just heard it again. Several different people who have lost a child have shared with me that a person in their lives has said to them something like “you’re still crying about that?” Unbelievable. This is a critical, mean and unhelpful thing to say to anyone who is grieving […]

It’s a Quadruple Whammy
This will be my 7th Christmas without my son, David Glasser. He was a Phoenix Police Officer killed in the line of duty on May 18, 2016. If you have experienced loss, you have probably heard this many times – “the first year without them is the worst”. Crowds of people told me this during that […]

I’m Not a Screamer
Normally I am not a screamer. But on this day, I screamed. And I didn’t stop for a long time. It was several months after my son, David Glasser, who was a Phoenix Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty. I remember sitting, staring off into the distance with my mind swirling with […]

I Was Surprised
Some parts of my son’s funeral are foggy to me and other sections are crystal clear. My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty on May 18, 2016. I will never forget the feeling I had sitting in the front row of the huge church auditorium […]

They Were Wrong
They were wrong. I cannot tell you how many people told me “The first year is the hardest” after my son, David Glasser, who was a Phoenix Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty on May 18, 2016. They were all wrong. I had already lost my mom and my dad and my […]
