No apologies are necessary! That is a lot to process and grieve. I couldn't bear to go to the area this fall like usual, but I'll be brave enough to go in the spring. I can't imagine having to deal with the death of so many tree friends. Big hugs to you.
Thank you, Stephanie. I have trouble imagining what it's like for people who were harder hit. Lots of people processing lots of grief. I'm working on holding space and honoring it all.
Interesting collection of facts and ideas, Marsha. I admit I had to skim; I'm still not ready to consider the implications of all this. Too painful and cognitively overwhelming. I am sending you good wishes for all the phases of recovery.
I completely understand. I've done the same. My next post will be about disaster grief -- yes, it's a documented thing. What you're experiencing is part of that. Go gently and take care.
