EPISODE 76: Miracles that Arise in the Wake of Deep Loss with Amy and Dana

Welcome to LEAP, where we sit down with people from all walks of life to hear their unique stories and perspectives on grief.

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Daughters, a freelance writer and debut author, and her dear friend Dana Dugas Rivera.

Their story is one of reconnection in the wake of heartache through letter writing. After reconnecting on Facebook after 30 years, Amy was inspired to begin writing weekly letters to Dana and her son Parker, who was battling cancer. When Parker passed away, Amy continued to write Dana, and the two became unlikely pen pals.

Their friendship and the power of letter writing had a profound impact on Amy’s life, leading her to write letters to all of her Facebook friends. Through this experience, she learned the true value of connecting with individuals behind the social media profiles and how love and friendship can transcend politics, beliefs, and lifestyle.

Amy and Dana’s story is one of inspiration and the power of human connection. So, join us as we sit down with Amy and Dana to hear more about their incredible journey.
