Synopsis:

Twentyone Olive Trees: A Mother’s Walk through the Grief of Suicide to Hope and Healing is the author’s personal journey of transformation following her son Blaise’s suicide. The book traces her path from grief to understanding and healing, shown through a collection of twenty-one fables and poems she wrote to Blaise in the year after his untimely death. This book explores Laura’s message that it is in your power to overcome personal difficulties no matter what, by creating something beautiful in the wake of whatever has befallen you–– death, divorce, disease, destruction from natural and man-made disasters, or other upheavals. The terrible times you suffer are not the end of life but can become a new beginning. It is Laura’s hope that these stories will act as a balm for those going through their grief and dark moments, encourage them to embrace their new beginnings, as well as inspire empaths and highly sensitive people to bring about the changes that our society is so strongly in need of.
