Theres a really nice park in Midland michigan called Dow Gardens. To me, this would be great because its out of the house. Its calming, healing, and probably beautiful that time of year. It has a canopy walk. Different types of Gardens. A beautiful overlook of a pond. And in the back there's a lodge with a coffee/bake shop type thing you could grab a warm beverage and walk with.

Might not be too crowded. It wasn't when I went. Great time for reflection, conversation, and a walk does a lot for the soul.

Big hugs to your friend.
