When grief meets creativity, something powerful can emerge. In this episode of Lighting the Path, host Jerry Fenter talks with Kera Sanchez, founder and editor of Get Griefy—a heartfelt online and print magazine that explores grief, healing, and creative expression.
Kera begins by sharing the deeply personal story of her mother's sudden death while traveling abroad. The timing and circumstances brought unique emotional challenges, leaving Kera searching for ways to process the loss. Through that pain, she discovered the healing potential of creative self-expression.
Her first project—a guided grief journal—became a meaningful outlet for reflection and connection. That experience inspired her next endeavor: Get Griefy, a magazine dedicated to normalizing grief, amplifying voices of those in mourning, and creating community through storytelling and art.
Listeners will come away inspired by Kera's courage, her creativity, and her commitment to opening new conversations about loss, resilience, and the many ways we find meaning after heartbreak.
Key discussion points:
The emotional challenges of losing a loved one abroad
How creativity became part of Kera's healing journey
The origins of Get Griefy magazine and its mission
Why storytelling and creative community matter in grief work
