Adam Sawyer built a writing career from the depths of heroin addiction writing about what helped him through that, which was communing with nature.  Serendipitously, it was in nature where he met the love of his life, Kara, with whom he bought a home off the grid in Washington to base their lives together.  While away on a business trip less than two years ago, a fire took away virtually every single thing in his life.  His life partner, his home, and his cherished cat, not to mention all his possessions.  Adam's grieving journey has been quite difficult, but once again he found himself seeking open spaces to help him through his horrific thoughts and emotions.  Just recently Adam declared himself in an emotional place to start mingling with people, and so he has begun giving talks about the grieving process at libraries and other places.  We invited Adam to share some of his realizations and processes with us on the podcast in a fascinating hour-plus talk about what he's been through.  As with most all RATF episodes, we hear about some of Adam's favorite spots to eat, too.
