Words Like Trees
Lessons Learned from Grief, Pt. 2
The lessons keep coming, this time with great hits like: You’re probably not a Goonie, you’re at least a little bit of a narcissist, old is gold, and C.S. Lewis is still pretty great.

Post written by Chris Poole. All about two little goats that are black and white, and how we’re not supposed to see them that way.
Written by Carly Brandvold. A heavy-hearted post about dreams that never see the light of day.
Post by Jennifer Mehlenbacher. A little adventure perfect for someone who was not very large, full of trees, and love, and books, and God and other cool things!
Truthfully, this is more of an announcement than a post, So I’m not sure what to put here… Remember to love the lives that are shared with yours!
I’ve been a 20-something-year-old widower for one year now… hopefully some of these things I learned are useful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After learning everything I needed to know about knitting to make my wife’s dream come true, I realized why Cassie never did.
Cassie had one incredibly specific dream she wanted to make a reality by knitting. For some reason, she never got around to it. But after trying to learn how to knit myself, I’m starting to imagine why.
Cass and I talked about moving a lot… maybe as a kind of coping mechanism when life got stressful for her. But as eager as I was to be moved out and for everything to be changed, I didn’t really want to do the moving or the changing. So when the time finally came, I found another couple coping mechanisms: one was pretty terrible, the other pretty fantastic.
So apparently the “holiday blues” are a thing. I was hopeful I could escape it. But since I got caught up anyways, I realized I needed someone to save me from this new kind of grief.
