(PRLeap.com) Shades of Grief, a new book by Frances Dougherty Kendall, M.D., has been released by RoseDog Books.Shades of Grief chronicles Frances Dougherty Kendall, M.D.'s walk through the complexities of death and dying and loss, grief, and hope. This personal journey begins with the loss of a beloved patient in Boston, the death of parents, her own cancer, and ends with recovery and hope. The various pieces are accompanied by her husband, Michael Kendall's original photography, each photo capturing a component of the emotion of a given work to enhance the depth of feeling experienced.
The author was driven by her experience to provide a modicum of comfort, peace and joy through her words to many struggling with the most human of all experiences - grief. A fellow physician, Dr. Emma Neish, said of the manuscript, "It is so raw and honest and it beautifully captures the human experience of grief. I think a lot of people will relate to these words and I think they will be healing for many souls."
