I was hiking with friends, Bonnie and MaryJo, when we spotted this heart. Literally a heart in the woods that someone painted on the end of this log. This was the last place I would have expected to see a heart. Charles was walking with us.
My husband often goes to hike in the woods to find peace from his grief. I do the same with him or with friends. Being outdoors helps. It just reminds you that you are part of a larger grand scheme and allows you to get outside of your own head.
What is the #griefheart project?
I explain my #griefheart project here.
See all #griefhearts so far on pinterest or on this blog by #griefheart category.
My husband & I do the same it’s great to be w/nature–love being in the woods to make things clearer–& our son loved being outdoors & always being with nature when he was trying to run from his depression & people he practically lived in the woods–thanks for sharing Anne
I have heard that a lot of people with depression like to be in the woods. Music, creativity, being outside, loving animals are all similarities I hear a lot about those with depression.
