When I was severely depressed and suicidal, I was drawn to Armstrong Woods in Guerneville, CA. I would walk there among the giant Redwood and feel as if I were in a cathedral. I went there frequently when I was writing my healing book, Grief Denied A Vietnam Widows Story. The Redwoods held me as I entered the abyss of my denied grief and I recovered my innocence, long lost to the traumas of my life.
