In this conversation we go from open mindedness to moving through physical davastation to faith.She writes about freedom and speaks about the belief, about grief and all the insight gained through life's meaningfulness and all the stages one goes through.

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 Fay Allian, 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. About the Guest:Cyndee Dhalai, writing under Fay Allian, is the author of Grief is the Price You Pay for Love and Pieces of Me. Her journey through rejection, illness, and profound personal loss has shaped her into a voice of resilience and reflection. With a poetic soul and a survivor's spirit, Cyndee helps others honor their grief while rediscovering their purpose. Key Takeaways: Grief isn't about “getting over” but integrating love and loss in balance. You must acknowledge, accept, and agree with your loss to truly begin healing. Writing became a lifeline for Cyndee—it was her way to speak with herself and transform pain into purpose. Grief is personal, unpredictable, and deeply complex—but it also teaches us how deeply we can love. Honoring memories through rituals or memory boxes can be a powerful healing practice. We are not broken—we are becoming. Life goes on, and so can we, with compassion and grace.

Grief Is the Price You Pay for Love: Run into the Fire; Discover Me in the Ashes While reeling with shock and grief from her husband's sudden death, and the absence of the one person who was a part of her, Faialian is blindsided by a question from one of his siblings, “Why didn't you die instead?” Two years later, the question still haunts her. While continually feeling the pain of being ostracized for surviving, Faialian finds strength in her two childhood friends, Darque and Gaela, and her faith in her Special Being. Just like anyone else, for Faialian, grief has become a journey filled with ups and downs, hard questions, and reflections about her past, present, and future. Only she knows what she carries inside, and as she runs into the fire, she must open herself to all that dwells within to emerge and begin anew. With help from her friends and her own inner strength, now only time will tell if Faialian can find a way to let go, let be, and let life so she does not just survive, but instead thrives to become her true self. In this inspiring story intertwined with original poems, a woman sets out on a journey of self-discovery as she courageously explores the process of grief after the sudden death of her husband and the absence of the one person who was a part of her very core.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?
