How We Find Joy in Grief: A Spiritual Path Through Tragedy

In Part 3 of this powerful 4-part series to begin The Endurant Show, DavidJi, along with Neal and Samara Tricarico, continue their deeply moving conversation on love, grief, and healing after the tragic loss of their son, Anthony. 

This episode explores the emotional complexity of grief, where agonizing pain and profound joy can coexist. Neal and Samara open up about their ongoing spiritual connection with Anthony, and how that connection continues to guide their healing journey. Their story reveals how open-hearted acceptance can transform unbearable loss into a purpose-driven movement rooted in compassion, connection, and hope.

Join us as we dive into themes of grief, spiritual awakening, and finding peace in the paradox—and discover how Neal and Samara are turning tragedy into a source of strength, healing, and community through the Endurant Movement.

Tremendous gratitude to the entire team at motionfarm.io for their exceptional audio and video editing, generously provided pro bono. José Rodriguez and team, quite simply, without your willingness to answer the call to something greater, there would be no Endurant Show and no Teen Voices.
