The Loving Tree
 |
A New Look at Grief, Loss and Legacy
Patricia Moran Kennedy’s beautifully illustrated tale, The Loving Tree: A Story of Love, Loss, & Transformation for All Ages, takes readers on a healing journey through loss, hope and regeneration.
The story, accompanied by gentle black and white illustrations by artist Kathy Campbell, focuses on a majestic dogwood tree and the flowers that live beneath its branches. When the dogwood is gone, the flowers lose the tree’s love and support. Yet they bloom even more abundantly on their own, nurtured by the dogwood’s legacy: lovingly enriched soil.
The Loving Tree is a universal, heroic and powerful story about the legacy we receive and the legacy we leave.
“With time, we may lose those we love,” Kennedy writes in the introduction. “What we never lose is the transformational power of kindness, comfort and love they bring into our lives.”
This simple, yet profound, little book will inspire and affirm anyone of any age who has ever lost a loved one. A story of hope, The Loving Tree honors loved ones who are no longer with us, their legacy and the healing process of those left behind.
The Loving Tree is the perfect gift for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one.
