ALT Written piece: "Neva reminded me that grief doesn’t follow rules, but healing still finds a way. When I lost my “soul pet” to a tragedy a few years ago, I struggled to put words to what I was feeling. Neva gave me space to sit with that pain and begin to understand it. Denial lingers in routine, anger erupts in the world around Alba, and depression settles in the stillness. Yet amidst it all, nature continues to shift - a quiet reminder that change doesn’t mean forgetting, but adapting. What does it mean to keep going while grieving, when the world expects you to move forward? Neva helped me find my own answer - not through dialogue, but through its quiet, emotional clarity. It helped me process my own loss with gentleness, and it speaks to love, pain, and growth without ever needing to say a single word."
