{"product_id":"after-the-end-unwrapping-grief-9781733115445","title":"After the End: Unwrapping Grief","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy daughter died suddenly in 2023, at age fifty-three, of a brain hemorrhage. I scattered some of her ashes in Lassen Volcanic National Park, a place I had backpacked into and birded for forty years-my daughter had been there with me-that burned in 2021. Since my daughter's death, I have felt, at times, that too much of what I loved was gone. The psychologists now say the last stage of grief is not acceptance, but meaning. I'm still working on it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etires checked\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecoolers, tents, flashlights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echeck, check, check\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand the box of ashes . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eher last camping trip\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein the photo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echiaroscuro trees and shadows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etrying to imagine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshades of green\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebefore the fire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRice, David:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eDavid C.
