Living Fully After Loss: Amanda Kloots on Grief, Parenting, and Resilience

Amanda Kloots is a former Broadway performer and Radio City Rockette who became a widow at a young age when her husband Nick died from COVID-19 complications in 2020, and has since become an author, talk show host, entrepreneur, and advocate for grief awareness while raising their son Elvis as a single mother. In this deeply personal conversation, Amanda Kloots shares her journey through profound grief after losing her husband Nick to COVID-19 in 2020, emphasizing how trauma and loss have taught her to live life more fully and embrace every opportunity with her young son Elvis. She discusses the ongoing nature of grief—noting that even four and a half years later she still experiences devastating moments—while highlighting the importance of building community, seeking support from others who understand similar pain, and maintaining open communication about difficult experiences. Throughout the interview, Kloots demonstrates remarkable resilience and vulnerability, showing how she has channeled her loss into meaningful work as an author, entrepreneur, and advocate who encourages others to move their bodies, live boldly, and support one another through life's most challenging moments.
