Eight minutes. That is how long it took for Michael's life to be forever changed. In late November 2016, a fire broke out in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Unbeknownst to Michael, the winds picked up while he was driving with his oldest son, and the fires swept toward the family home. Michael is haunted by nightmares of his frantic drive back through the fires, trying to get back home. By the time he arrived, the fire had taken the lives of his daughters, Chloe and Lily, as well as his wife, Constance. In the months after the fires, as Michael struggled to sleep, he would write about his pain. One day, he posted a writing on Facebook. It "went nuts," causing Michael to start a blog. Michael continued in his dark world until November 2023, when he stood at the memorial for the fires. He whispered to the empty air, opening his heart to the girls he had lost. In the silence, he heard Chloe's voice, bright and urgent: “Daddy, it's time to do the work.” The words struck a chord deep inside him. That night, he enrolled in college, determined to learn how to translate his pain into something to help others. Thus, The Million Stages of Grief was born. Each chapter opens with an italicized fragment from his old blog — a snapshot of confusion, terror, or numbness. The remainder of the chapter presents the lessons he gathered in classrooms, therapy rooms, and through life's experiences, reshaping those dark moments into pathways forward. Before pressing “publish,” Michael whispered a brief prayer, handing the manuscript over to his girls, asking, "I am completely giving this to you. However big you want this to go, however many people you want to read it, I give it all to you." Years ago, while working as a zipline instructor, a woman kicked Michael, knocking him over. Inexplicably, five years later and one month after that prayer, she posted the video to TikTok, garnering 1.5 million views. Curious, Michael created his own TikTok account, stitching the video to a narration of his story and book. The new post surged to 2.5 million views. I guess his girls decided that their story needed to go very big indeed.
In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the discussion of Siman 26 of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, focusing on the laws of the mourner's Kaddish, specifically halachot 5–12, which address priorities for reciting Kaddish when multiple mourners are present. He notes that while these precedence rules are less relevant today due to the common practice of all mourners reciting Kaddish together, they remain significant for understanding halachic priorities. Key points include:Recap of Mourning Periods: Rabbi Wolbe reiterates the four mourning stages—shiva (7 days), shloshim (30 days), the first year, and yahrtzeit (annual commemoration)—with shiva mourners having the highest priority for Kaddish, followed by shloshim, year-long mourners, and yahrtzeit observers.Halacha 5–6 (Kaddish Allocation): Yahrtzeit and shloshim mourners take precedence over those in the first year, but some Kaddishes (e.g., Rabbi's Kaddish, post-Aleinu Kaddish) are reserved for yahrtzeit or shloshim mourners. If both a yahrtzeit observer and a shloshim mourner are present, the shloshim mourner recites first, as their obligation continues the next day, while a yahrtzeit observer's opportunity is limited to the anniversary day.Halacha 7–8 (Resolving Conflicts): When two mourners of equal status (e.g., both in shloshim) want to recite Kaddish or lead services, they cast lots (e.g., rock, paper, scissors). The winner of the evening (Ma'ariv) Kaddish yields the morning (Shacharis) Kaddish to the other, with lots cast for the afternoon (Mincha) Kaddish. Residents take precedence over guests with the same mourning status, but guests (e.g., yahrtzeit or shloshim) are granted at least one Kaddish, even over a resident in the first year.Halacha 12 (Resident vs. Guest): A resident is defined as someone with a permanent home in the community, regardless of tax status, or someone whose deceased parent was a local resident. Guests include those with homes elsewhere or temporary residents (e.g., students, boarders with living parents). A mourner who regularly prays at another synagogue is not considered a guest and is directed to recite Kaddish there.Community Support: Rabbi Wolbe shares an example of Houston's Jewish community arranging a late-night minyan for a visitor needing to recite Kaddish, highlighting communal responsibility to support mourners.The episode pauses at halacha 12, with the promise to continue in the next session, and opens the floor for the "Ask Away" segment, encouraging listener questions._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #63) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

He should be here. Today's guest, Lindsay, says that these are the four most impactful words that have been said to her in the year since her 6-month-old son, Chase, died from bacterial meningitis. These words don't try to cheer her up or remind her of some grand plan. They simply acknowledge the wrongness of the whole situation. Lindsay's family no longer feels complete without Chase. Smiling 'Chasey' should be tagging along, trying to keep up with his big brother, Jack. Chase should be here. From the time her two boys were tiny babies, Lindsay would read to them. She loved reading board books by Nancy Tillman, especially 'On the Night You Were Born' and 'Wherever You Go: My Love Will Find You.' This second book begins with the line, 'I wanted you more than you'll ever know, so I sent love to follow wherever you go.' The book goes on to describe how the mother's love will follow the child wherever he or she goes, whether it be going swimming, climbing trees, or marching in parades. It reminds the child that as they grow, their mother's love will continue to follow them throughout life. The last line of the book reads, 'You are my angel, my darling, my star, and my love will find you wherever you are.' Since Chase's death, Lindsay has truly realized the truth of that little board book. The book was certainly not written for grieving parents, but we can hold fast to the words of that book, can't we? Death does not end our love for our children. Our love continues to follow them after death. Lindsay's love for Chase has followed him all the way to heaven. In the year since Chase died, her love for Chase has not diminished. Her love has continued to grow just as it does for all mothers. On Chase's birthday, Lindsay now donates 70 copies of 'Wherever You Go: My Love will Find You' to the NICU where she works and Baby Chase once stayed. Certainly, Chase should be here as a laughing, smiling toddler, but as she sees parents read these books to their new babies, Lindsay remembers that their love for each other continues to grow, and these books will help spread that love even further.

John MacArthur. Charlie Kirk. Voddie Baucham… and so many more. We may not have known them personally, but we feel that a light to the world has been extinguished, and the world is a little bit darker now that we've lost them. How do we deal with the grief and mourning we feel even after […]
Have you ever wondered if your grieving experience is “normal” or struggled to find the right words about loss?This week, I'm joined by clinical psychologist and grief specialist, Dr. Monika Wieliczko. We have an open conversation about the realities of grief. Together, we explore why grief often feels isolating, how and why society shies away from openly discussing bereavement, and the profound ways grief can affect both mind and body.Drawing on personal stories and clinical expertise, we dispel common myths (like the famous stages of grief model) and emphasise that there is no single correct way to grieve. Monika also shares a free online resource, the Grief MOT, designed to help individuals check in on their grief journey and access helpful tools.Highlights include:05:56 Understanding grief responses11:39 The Surreal state of loss14:24 Examining the stages of grief20:10 When grief becomes traumatic25:17 Secondary losses and practical challenges29:29 The cognitive impact of grief33:06 Resources for grief support - The Grief MOTThis week's guest:Dr Monika Wieliczko is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist.

Ezra 9 | God has been faithful to lead a remnant of the exiles of Israel out of slavery, but it is made known to Ezra that the people have once again been unfaithful to God's commands and sinned against Him as before. Ezra then mourns the sin of the people and comes before God in confession. Over these four weeks we are going to see "Four Marks of Revival" in Ezra 7-10. We look at the third mark of revival on Sunday: mourning our sin.
HT2393 - Mourning the Loss of Prints I know, I know, I'm probably being a bit reactionary here, but it seems to me that the world is slowly letting go of prints as a medium for photography. I had a fascinating experience in a Zoom conference last night that became one data point of interest. But the more I thought about it, I realized how many times in recent years I've heard some photography influencer make the case that we all need to make more prints; of course they say that because so few people do.

Danielle K. Glorioso, LCSW, explores the complex nature of grief, emphasizing that it is a lifelong, evolving response to loss rather than something to “get over.” She explains the differences between acute grief, integrated grief, and prolonged grief disorder, highlighting how factors like attachment, personal history, and circumstances of death can influence the grieving process. Glorioso outlines how prolonged grief can impair daily functioning and discusses effective treatments, including a structured therapy program that facilitates adaptation. She also examines resilience as a skill that can be strengthened through emotion regulation, cognitive flexibility, social support, and meaning-making. Drawing on both professional expertise and personal loss, Glorioso offers practical strategies for coping, supporting others, and finding hope while honoring the memory of loved ones.

1V12 When should we repent? a. Even now- A specific time. 2V12 Who is making this declaration? a. The Lord through Joel b. Return (Repent- turn to the Lord.) i. All your heart – no divided hearts, Israel and the modern church ii. Fasting – separating yourself from worldly pleasures to seek God iii. Weeping – physical action over your sins and your people's sins iv. Mourning- internal and mental process, hating your sin and others' sins 3V13 What should be torn? He desires a torn heart, not torn clothes. a. He does not want us to play church, but he wants to be the church 4V13 Why should we return to the Lord?- For He is gracious a. He is gracious- something no one deserves. What prevents you from receiving and extending grace b. He is compassionate toward others c. Slow to anger – the time in which he responds d. Abounding in love- extra amount according to the circumstances e. He can relent. One factor that can potentially cause God to relent is God's people listening to the commands of God and turning back to Him in true repentance. Application: · Where do you need to repent of your lack of hate for sin in your and your nation? Where do you need to repent because of complicity in this glorious gospel that will set people free? · How have you been playing church? What do I mean? Doing outward rituals or traditions, but not having your heart changed by the word? · What is preventing you from receiving God's grace(hurts, hangups, or hard heart, I am not worthy, etc) in your life and sharing it with others? (fear of man or lack of training in witnessing)?
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the Trump Administration and their collaborators are prosecuting a widespread crackdown on free expression. Karen Attiah has been a columnist at the Washington Post for 11 years, and was the last remaining Black columnist at the newspaper until last week. She was fired, allegedly for being insufficiently mournful over murdered racist Charlie Kirk, but at this point her firing seems less about what she actually said and more about sending a message: dissent will be punished. But unlike some people (looking at you, Bezos), she has no intention of backing down or going quietly.

In this heartfelt episode of The Make, Trevor DeVage opens up about the loss of his family's beloved rabbit, Max, and the grief that follows. Joined by Kids Director Stephanie Marsh, they dive into stories of faith, family, and the importance of creating intentional spaces for children and students in the church. From pet stories and snakes in the office to navigating ministry transitions and witnessing a surge of new families seeking God, this episode captures both the rawness of personal loss and the hope of a growing spiritual awakening.
A memorial service for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk became a political rally on Sunday, as President Trump told the crowd that unlike Kirk, he hates his opponents and blamed the “radical left” for political violence. Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid says that as influential Republicans use Kirk's killing to demonize the left, the country is failing a crucial test: the ability to absorb political violence without discarding democratic cornerstones like free speech, respect for dissent and due process. We talk to Hamid and to New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters about this fraught political moment, and how, in Hamid's words, we can step back from the brink. Guests: Shadi Hamid, columnist at the Washington Post, his forthcoming book is "The Case for American Power" Jeremy W. Peters, national reporter focusing on free speech, The New York Times - author, "Insurgency: How Republicans Lost Their Party and Got Everything They Ever Wanted" Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special episode, Pastor Anthony Daley of Mosaic Church asks the question every believer must wrestle with in this moment: Now What Charlie Kirk? Following the assassination and funeral of Charlie Kirk, Pastor Daley reflects on how God uses moments of loss to advance His purposes and awaken revival in the Church. Drawing from the stories of Esther, Joshua, Stephen, and the early disciples, this message challenges us to move from mourning to mission — to rise in bold faith, holiness, and courage in this season.
Speak Truth - How to live Healthy, Happy and Holy with Stacey Ziegler | Holistic Life Coach
Grief is heavy. Tragedy shakes us. Death can leave us speechless. But even in the middle of heartbreak, God is near.
Send us a textThe world feels darker than ever. With senseless violence dominating headlines and social media feeds filled with people celebrating tragedy rather than mourning it, we're witnessing a disturbing shift in how our society processes death and loss.This week, we dive deep into the troubling reality that death itself has become political. Remember when tragedies like 9/11 brought Americans together? Churches were full, people were kind to each other, and we stood united in our grief. Today, even mourning has become divisive. We explore why this shift happened and what it means for our children growing up in this new reality.The recent shooting of Charlie Kirk, a woman murdered on a train, school shootings - these events aren't just tragic because they happened, but because of how we've responded to them. As parents, we're now forced to have conversations with our children that we never imagined having. The contrast between our own childhoods - riding bikes until streetlights came on - and the restricted, fearful world our kids navigate is jarring.Yet even in darkness, light emerges. We discuss how Charlie Kirk's legacy lives on as people turn to Christ and find inspiration to stand firmly in their beliefs. As Christians, we're called to respond differently - to lead with love without compromising truth. Jesus's final words, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do," provide our blueprint for responding to hatred and violence.The church has a powerful opportunity to stand out by demonstrating forgiveness rather than anger. This countercultural response shows a peace that transcends even death - a hope that the world desperately needs to witness. We believe that even in our divided society, there's room for redemption and healing.Join us for this raw, unfiltered conversation about finding hope when the world feels broken.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk shocked the country, and conservative Christians have mourned his death with services and prayer vigils. Even as we mourn, we can be wise in the way we process and respond. As Christians, we shouldn't be surprised when we see evil, but we should also look for God to build his kingdom.

As a Christian, I wrestle with grief, shock, and the fear over how the death of Charlie Kirk could deepen political divisions. But I also hold onto hope: hope that tragedy might awaken compassion, that anger might be transformed, that we might lean into our shared humanity. Together, we'll explore what we can do: turning off the 24-hour news cycle, stepping away from social media for a bit, engaging in conversations with people we disagree with, and remembering that behind every headline, every clip, every voice is a person made in God's image. This is not about blame, or pointing fingers, or even political... It's about healing, unity, and love.THANK YOU TO THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR ~

In this episode, we reflect on the heartbreaking image of Vice President J.D. Vance carrying the casket of his 31-year-old assassinated friend, a moment that shook America to its core. From the sleepless nights millions endured after witnessing the tragedy, to the growing debate over censorship, political violence, and leadership, we expose the contradictions and hypocrisies dominating Washington. Why do some demand silence while fueling the very violence they condemn? Join us as we unpack the raw grief, the political games, and the dangerous road America faces if reality continues to be denied.
On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has passed away after being assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University. It's a deeply sad and dark day. He was a young man with a wife and two baby girls. His only offense, apparently, was to engage and debate in a joyous way. He spent his life fighting for America and his legacy will never be silenced. We dedicate this show to Charlie and look back on his life and some of his interviews with Mark Levin.
