In this deeply moving episode of Tendrils of Grief, we welcome Kristina, whose life was forever changed at the age of 13 when her brother Jay made an eerily accurate prediction about his own death. Just days later, he was tragically killed in a bike accident—hit by the green car he had foreseen.

Jay’s sudden death sent Kristina down a harrowing path of addiction, rebellion, and searching. Haunted by the question of how he knew, Kristina eventually embarked on a decades-long journey to find meaning and healing in the aftermath of unimaginable loss.

Now an author and truth-seeker, Kristina joins us to share insights from her new memoir, What My Brother Knew (releasing May 27—the anniversary of Jay’s death). Her story is a powerful blend of grief, resilience, and the mysterious threads that connect us beyond this life.

This is an episode about the long arc of grief, the search for answers, and the unexpected ways healing can unfold.
