Pamela Rickenbach and Syl Strawbridge did not know one another before the Open House, they have each experienced one of life’s most powerful and transforming experiences. Each lost a husband to suicide. Syl traveled across the country to come and meet some the online friends from the Creative Group at Bedlam Farm who supported her, Pamela, the director of Blue Star Equiculture,  came to talk about the meaning of the horses in our world.

Both are eloquent, their powerful and eloquent voices have risen up in grief and sorrow, their loss and confusion. They fell into one another’s arms and hugged and cried, a ballet of compassion. Everyone has suffered more than me.
