Dying Pine

Ted's world shatters when his beloved wife, Beth, who was battling Alzheimer's disease, dies in a tragic fall from a tree. Grieving and yearning for connection, Ted decides to honor her memory by building the tree house she had always dreamed of, enlisting the help of his neighbor, Bill. But as the tree house takes shape, so does something miraculous: the ability to summon Beth’s soul within its walls. Soon, Ted and Bill uncover an even greater truth—the tree house serves as a bridge for spirits to reunite with their loved ones. Faced with the bittersweet reality of this gift, Ted opens the tree house to others, offering them a chance to reconnect, even as he wrestles with his own loss. Dying Pine is a poignant tale of love, memory, and the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.
