Into Grief

Nature provides a nurturing space for processing grief.

Having a nurturing space can provide support and comfort when processing difficult emotions. Spending time in nature has helped me connect with my own grief, which has allowed for deeper connections with myself, my friends and family, and my purpose. It's helped me integrate multiple tragedies into my life story while maintaining mental health.  

The following questions came to me while photographing Rice Lake State Park in Owatonna, MN. They have helped me begin to write a new narrative while navigating trauma. If you find yourself processing difficult emotions, try asking yourself: 

---

Notice: How do I know when I'm feeling discomfort?

---

Nurture: How will I honor my uncomfortable feelings?

---

Negotiate: How can I use this discomfort for transformation?

---

Narrate: How will this transformation change my story?

---

Navigate: How will I continue to grow through this transformation?
