Manage episode 469648119 series 3435785
In this episode of Thrive Like a Mother, I chat with phenomenal author Diandra F. Wing, whose journey of resilience and remembrance is both heartbreaking and deeply inspiring. After suddenly losing her Aunt Shawn and beloved mother, Sandra, Diandra could have been consumed by grief. Instead, she found unexpected comfort in the appearance of a striking red bird during pivotal moments, offering a connection to the women she loved and lost.
We dive into her book, Red Bird, and explore how family, journaling, and being offered help can shape our healing. Diandra shares the profound pain of loss, the unique experience of navigating grief as a black woman, and how she learned to trust the signs from loved ones beyond this world.
Tune in as we discuss:
✨ How Diandra’s mother and aunt shaped her life and identity
✨ Recognizing and trusting signs from lost loved ones
✨ The challenges of grieving as a black woman
✨ How to support yourself and others through loss
If you’ve ever wondered whether your loved ones send messages from beyond, or if you’re looking for someone to speak life into your healing journey, this episode is for you.
