How to Live Your Life After Great Loss – Amanda Kloots with Dave Asprey – #837

• Nick got COVID but you didn’t know it. Let’s go through a little bit of that just to catch everyone up. – 2:16
• I started writing for two reasons. One of the reasons was I had a deadline. I had to start. Two, I had all this information in my head, so many numbers and machines and names and hospital rooms and dates and times and I wanted to start writing that stuff down.  – 4:33
• The fact that you’re willing to share publicly your thought process and what you went through, it’s incredibly beneficial the way you’re sharing it.  – 7:08
• My dad looked at me and he said, “Every day your miracle is being answered, Nick is still here, he’s still alive, and you get to go see him every single day. Your miracle is being answered every day.”  – 9:20
• If you’ve been through trauma, you gain a whole new group of trauma friends that either you sort of knew but they step up right to that plate. – 13:20
• Music has always just been a fuel for my fire, I would say, but, for me, it’s like a release. Music, it can help you calm down, it can get you fired up, it can put you at peace, it can release the stress and anxiety.  – 14:54
• What made you decide to go out and start a t-shirt company? What was the inspiration?  – 19:36
• It was really hard to be looked at like a sad puppy. It’s something that happens with grief too.  – 24:44
• I was intrigued you talk about 40 days being a very famous biblical number. That shows up all over the place. Tell me a little bit more about your interpretation of that 40 days.  – 27:16
• Nick passed away, somebody gave me a book and I didn’t read anything but the first chapter but the first chapter was all about asking for signs. They’re there. You just have to ask the universe for them. – 28:57
• Absolutely still cry, I still miss, I still feel … I mean, I think what happens is that you grow around it. You learn how to deal with that hole in your stomach or that … A lot of people say that rock in your pocket. You just learn how to grow around it and grow bigger from it. It doesn’t go away, though. There’s no time that that still isn’t there.  – 32:51
• If you could tell people on this show one thing to take away from the book, like the biggest thing, what would you tell them it is?  – 34:58
• Broadway is going to come back, these theaters are going to come back with bigger and better jazz hands than you could ever imagine because it’s just innate in our blood to want to get back and create and perform.  – 38:24
