Learn to fold an origami swan using square, origami paper, and befriend the often confusing and sometimes unsettling feelings experienced during bereavement and after loss. With each origami swan you fold, think of the one you lost and honor their memory. Learn that grief has no timeline and carries no expiration. Your feelings, as confusing as they may be, are a valid and necessary part of the healing journey. Begin the journey today with this beautifully illustrated book. Using black-and-white nature illustrations paired with pressed florals and grasses, Michèle Saint-Michel takes you by the hand and leads you down the path toward healing. Step-by-step instructions assist even those unfamiliar with origami to fold a paper swan. Each swan folded is a chance to spend a little time with the one you've lost. Using Japanese design aesthetics like Ma and wabi-sabi, author and artist Michèle Saint-Michel builds a robust world where escape is possible-a world of magical, flightless birds, where grief and loss can begin to be embodied and safely explored.
