[2,340] The forest

This is a 3rd draft of a story I am working on which touches on how we deal with grief and loss. After some really brutal but very fair and supremely useful feedback, I've made a lot of rewrites. My biggest question is does it flow? Does it make sense? Is there appropriate tension and resolution? All comments and suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks!
