In this episode of the Life with Grief Podcast, I sit down with Diandra Ford-Wing—a tech sales professional turned author—for a heartfelt conversation about grief, healing, and the power of creative expression after loss.
Diandra opens up about losing her mother, aunt, and grandfather, and how her grief journey inspired her to write her debut memoir, Redbird.
She shares how writing became a form of therapy, helping her process pain, honor her loved ones, and rediscover herself through creativity.
Together, we explore:
❤️ The healing power of art and storytelling in grief
❤️ Recognizing and trusting signs from loved ones who have passed
❤️ How therapy and self-reflection support emotional healing
❤️ Why grief looks different for everyone—and how to find what helps you feel grounded again
This episode offers hope, validation, and encouragement for anyone navigating life after loss or searching for creative ways to heal.
