Healing from loss in the garden-
Going into nature to commune with loves lost.
Planting shades of flowers that bloom into the colors of a loved ones soul, smile, and laugh.
Taking time in the garden to nourish the soul and comfort the aching heart.
No, the grieving will never end from heavy loss.
But laying a seed to sleep in the soil can relieve the weight if only a little.
Its enough to be able to breathe again.
Tending and building compost can be a gentle reminder that beautiful things grow from decay.
Life can and will go on.
Things from the past aren’t ever really gone.
Only transformed, their energy blooming into something ethereal, unknown, and new.
The snow may fall heavy come winter,
killing away all signs of life…
But have faith that come spring,
the grass will grow green again…
Flowers will bloom, and birds will sing…
And life will be warm again.
