Grief as a Sacred Companion: Finding Strength Through Loss with Poet Fay Alion (Cyndee)
In this deeply moving episode of Soul Sparks, host Aanya speaks with poet, author, and retired teacher Fay Alion (Cyndee), whose heartfelt journey through grief is both raw and inspiring. Cyndee opens up about losing her partner, the lifelong imprint of that absence, and how writing became her lifeline. Together, they explore how grief isn't something you heal from—but something you carry, manage, and make space for. If you've ever felt lost in sorrow, this conversation is a quiet light in the darkness.
