Our soul is more open in nature so it makes sense that you felt things in those beautiful woods more deeply than when you are distracted. This makes me wonder how I'll feel when I move from the woods behind our current home. I think the difference is they are slowly being overtaken by development so the trails are changing, as is the feeling when I'm there. It may not be a poignant as it was for you
So much loss for you in a short time. But I see so much growth in your grief journey. Nothing better than a walk in the woods, especially when they carry beautiful memories!

A beautiful post, Janice about how much of our life's journey is affected by choices and the changes we can't control. Sixty years is a long time and such an inspiration. May your husband's memory be a blessing and a comfort.
I loved reading this, Janice! Somehow the woods does hold magic, doesn't it?! I often worry what will happen if I lose my husband. Your strength encourages me. Thank you! xoxo
