Picking Up the Pieces – a parent's worst nightmare

  • 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 […]

  • I’m Excited

    Are you wondering how my book is going? Several months ago I told you I was writing a book about my journey of surviving the death of a child. My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty on May 18, 2016. The book is about halfway […]

  • Peace

    Seven hundred years before he was born, God gave Isaiah this beautiful prophecy about Jesus Christ. (9:6) It all came true – “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.” Thank you, God, for giving us your son. Thank you for sending Jesus who has opened his arms wide to […]

  • The Most Difficult Time of the Year

    Each day, as we get closer to Christmas, the hole in my heart grows a little bigger, and a little darker.  The pain becomes a little stronger. It becomes increasingly harder not to focus on what I have lost.  What my family has lost. David Glasser, my son, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in […]

  • 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 […]
