I have been on a grief journey since my partner crossed over one year ago and have found great healing by being in nature and witnessing the cycles that never end. My poetry is inspired by my journey of living with both grief and joy. I thought I would share with you one of my favorites that reflects how nature can support us. Hope you’ll give it a read.🙏🏼
I'm sorry for your loss, but excited that you're alchemizing it and sharing your experience with others. The crossover between human-to-human grief and human-to-nature grief is profound.
This opened my eyes. Healing doesn’t always have to come in grand gestures, but in soft moments: a patch of sunlight, the sound of leaves, the feeling of the wind blowing through us.
Lovely sentiment...and beautifully expressed. My husband and I are doing our best to heal this grief for ourselves by trying to find apartments close to rivers on our nomadic journey. We want to be at least within a 15-minute walk so we can go and be healed by the water.
Growing up, getting out into nature was something my family did on the weekends. But I realized that as a kid growing up in California, I was connecting with the trees around me every day. The redwoods felt like my real parents...
