Grief, Grace & Growth: Healing After Loss with Cyndee Dhalai (aka Faialian)
In this tender episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by author and poet Cyndee Dhalai, also known by her pen name Faialian, for a heartfelt conversation on navigating the heavy, often silent path of grief. Through her lived experiences and profound words, Cyndee shares how healing begins not by moving on, but by moving forward—with memory, meaning, and love. She opens up about the moment her grief turned into poetry, and how loss became the beginning of a new chapter.
