Healing through Gardening

Emma sat alone on the worn wooden bench in her backyard, gazing at the neglected garden before her. The once vibrant flowers and lush greenery had withered away, mirroring the emptiness she felt inside. It had been six months since her husband, James, had passed away, leaving her heartbroken and lost. The weight of her grief had become unbearable, and she yearned for something, anything, to ease the pain.
