I love that you are not all about ‘getting over it’. “Grief is the lingering presence of something or someone I loved deeply and lost.” Thank you for your beautiful writing, Trisha.

Grief is so hard Cindy, but also so beautiful. I love you and your family and wrote this to honor your grief and mine and all the people who have felt this.

Lovely, Tricia. I don't think I'll look at Congaree (or any swamp) quite the same again, after reading this.

I loved how you wrote about the positive and negative of grief. Having experienced an extreme traumatic grief a long time ago, I found the only way to respond was in finding things to be thankful for. You have captured the essence of this in finding the rainbows, the beauty & the light! Just know that I care & love you.

You have a gift of capturing all of our humanity in nature, painting with words what others pass by. Thank you for opening our eyes.
