Riding Shotgun With Grief

Exploring Your Grief

Many of us go into nature to unwind and be refreshed. Some of us go into the wilderness to work our way through a problem that befuddles us at home. Yet when we try to talk to others about what we are discovering in nature, or how our experiences there are transforming us, we find it hard to express this in words.

Grief's River

Grief’s river carries us

from death back to life.

Talking with others

is the water.

Rituals

In the land of grief,

we are drawn to create rituals

to express our unsettled hearts

and honor the holy people

in our lives.
