Some people are there for you. Others disappoint you, when they can’t or won’t be. You measure time by before and after what happened.

You are not alone.

Join us in the Obliterated Place, where we witness and honor one another’s grief. We share stories and say their names.

The Obliterated Place is where you find yourself after an event that changes everything – a diagnosis, an accident, a natural disaster, the end of a marriage or other important relationship, the death of a loved one.

You no longer recognize your life.

The future won’t be what you envisioned.

It’s impossible to believe that it’s been 5 years since Molly left this world. It simultaneously feels like yesterday and an eternity.

I put my heart into this new podcast because the only way I survive is by channeling my grief/mother love (one and the same) to help others.

Donate to Rebuilding Ellen’s Life After Tragedy, organized by Chayim Frenkel Ellen Rudolph and her husband, Steve Lewis, built a quiet, happy life in Pacific … Chayim Frenkel needs your support for Rebuilding Ellen’s Life After Tragedy

Before Ellen was defrauded, her financial situation was precarious thanks to a reverse mortgage that was problematic, plus the terrible financial repercussions of the Palisades fire.

When Ellen returns to the Palisades in a few months, she won’t have neighbors for some time because all the nearby homes burned down. She is understandably anxious.

Our synagogue, Kehillat Israel, gave Ellen $10,000. Our wonderul cantor created a GoFundMe to raise the remaining $28,000 that was stolen.

Ellen is in her 70’s with two adult daughters who live out-of-state. Her insurer is pressuring her to move back although repairs & remediation are incomplete.

Ellen was overwhelmed by the full-time job that is dealing with insurance and a thousand details post-fire, while nursing her life partner and husband.

Steve died a few months later, leaving Ellen alone in the apartment. At her most vulnerable, Ellen was defrauded and lost $38,000.

Our friend and neighbor, Ellen, lost so much in the past year. Shortly after the Palisades fire, Ellen’s husband, Steve, was diagnosed with lung cancer. They were living in a temporary apartment. Ellen became Steve’s caregiver, while trying to put their lives back together 👇.

The essence of America is our diversity. This year’s Super Bowl Half Time show was all at once exciting, sexy, powerful, and heartwarming. It looked like so much FUN to be there! Bravo, Bad Bunny 👏👏👏.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

Absolutely! Thanks so much.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article) A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Law enforcement officers are trained to de-escalate conflict. These guys seem to be doing the exact opposite.

Dana Bash grills Bovino to provide any evidence that Alex Pretti "assaulted law enforcement" and Bovino has absolutely nothing

I wish I could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the brave patriots resisting a federal government that is murdering Americans and lying to the public.

My heart’s with you, Minneapolis. Millions and millions are. What’s the best way to send help?

May Alex and Renee’s memories be a revolution 🙏.

25% through this hellscape & we’re on edge, holding our collective breath. The US President is NOT OK. There are no guardrails. Only bad actors and enablers.

The greatest country in the world is committing suicide before our eyes. Millions of lives hang in the balance.

It’s utterly terrifying.
