Episode 4.16: Many Shades of Grief; One Human Condition, with Krishma Tuli Arora
Krishma Arora at her first book signing
“It doesn’t matter who you are, you can be tempted. And who you are as a person will then determine your choice and your actions.”
Krishma Tuli Arora: poet, writer, public speaker, and mother. On May 23rd, Krishma debuted her first fiction novel, From Ash to Ashes, inspired by her time of grief following the death of her first-born son. Krishma comes on the show to talk about how she and other members of her family grieved, and how these experiences translated into major themes in her novel (don't worry, there are no spoilers!). Krishma shares how grief affected her marriage and family dynamics. She shares how societal pressure rushed her into motherhood while stymieing her path to therapy. She implores the audience to accept accountability for tragedies, when appropriate, and to get help when needed.
