It’s okay not to be okay

It’s okay to not be okay. Everyone grieves differently there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Feel every feeling you need to. It is okay to not be over it in a short while it may take a long time to even feel okay with it. - Ays

The Forest of Feelings

The Forest of Feelings is filled with creatures drawn by young people to show the many emotions of grief.
