Aria Amos takes us on a poignant journey through grief and resilience, sharing her extraordinary life story that unfolds like a novel. Raised in a mobile dog grooming unit traveling across 48 states, Aria's world was turned upside down when she and her siblings became orphaned after losing both parents within a year. Her heartfelt poetry collection, "The Tears that Water My Growth," is a beacon of hope and healing. Listen as she reads "Pandemic," a powerful piece that captures the emotional depth of connection during difficult times.

We challenge the traditional understanding of grief, exploring its unpredictable nature and the profound impact it can have on our lives. By focusing on personal stories, we emphasize the importance of being present for those who are grieving, even in silence. We also discuss coping mechanisms to manage the anxiety that can follow a significant loss, all while highlighting the beauty and transformative power of writing as a form of emotional expression.

Our conversation delves into maintaining connections with loved ones who have passed, and the comforting signs that keep their presence alive within us. Through Aria's story and her creative healing journey, we explore how embracing emotions can lead to personal growth and enduring connections. The powerful impact of art and writing is underscored, not only in Aria's life but in the lives of her readers, as her words offer solace and understanding to those who engage with them. Join us for this compelling exploration of grief, resilience, and creative healing.
