Meaning of "チャラにする"
「チャラにする」 is an often-used colloquial/slangy expreession meaning " ** _to call
it even_** ", " ** _to forgive a debt_** ", etc.

The more formal and synonymous phrases would include:

「帳消{ちょうけ}しにする」、「差{さ}し引{ひ}きゼロにする」、「相殺{そうさい}する」, etc.

「チャラ」 by itself means "banter", "wise-cracking", etc. It is, however, rarely
used by itself.

If you are familiar with the word 「おべん **ちゃら** 」 which means "flattery", the
last part is the word in question.

Without more context, it is difficult to tell exactly what your sentence:

> 「死ぬほど悲しかったりすることを全部チャラにする。」

means, but it would be something along the lines of:

> "(Something/Someone) cancels out all of the things that are so sad that
> you/someone might die from them."
