"Wild Grief"

[markie]

when my husband died, I discovered the only way I could cope was to be in the woods... I am hiking the AT and call it my 'Grief Walk'

I recently discovered this program offered in Washington State (also offering virtual hikes)


https://wildgrief.org/

YOUR GRIEF IS WILD & WELCOME.
We believe in the healing power of both nature and peer support. At Wild Grief, we combine the two. We provide guided hikes at all levels, hour-long, day-long, and multi-day all focused on supporting each other while on our grief journeys. Grief is what we feel after the death of someone close in our lives and then the grief journey begins – we have to go through it and it is disorienting and often deeply painful.

Change of address

You didn't die, you just changed shape

Became invisible to the naked eye

Became this grief

It's sharpness more real

Than your presence was

Before you were separate to me entire to yourself

Now you are a part of me

You are inside my self

And I call you by your new name

'Grief.....Grief!'

Although I still call you 'Love'
