Scenario

When separating couples share memorial trees and grief spaces

My partner and I planted memorial trees for each of our grandparents but now we're getting divorced and neither of us wants to give up visiting them, but being there together feels impossible. We can't figure out how to share grief space or whether we even should, and our lawyers don't exactly have protocols for tree visitation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The trees hold meaning that transcends the relationship, but accessing that meaning requires navigating the pain of the relationship's end.
