Visit places in nature where you've shared memories with your<br />

<strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong>.<br />

Nature invites us into spaces where time dissolves and we can heal<br />

our wounds. The wind blows away the grief and helps us to feel<br />

connected with life again.<br />

Where did you and your <strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong> enjoy spending time together?<br />

At the beach? The park?<br />

Picking fruit in the summer?<br />

Perhaps you could invite others to join you in a game of “cloud<br />

busting”, imagining the clouds as messages from your angels,<br />

ancestors or <strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong>. Write poetry or learn to take nature photos<br />

with your ph<strong>one</strong>. Walk a labyrinth and invite your <strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong> to walk<br />

beside you on the other side.<br />
