Learn to Fly: An illustrated book for adults and teens navigating grief and loss (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922740052)

How do you help someone heal after loss? Learn to Fly is the gift you give when you're lost on what to give.

Anybody who finds themselves in mourning tends to search for a guide to navigating grief and loss. When the loss is sudden, tragic or traumatic, it adds a deeper cruelty to this experience.

As both a social worker and a sister who experienced the traumatic loss of her brother to homicide, Corinne Lindsell has had to defeat grief both directly and indirectly. With Learn to Fly, she has turned what she has learned on that journey into a unique book. A children's book for adults and young adults dealing with grief and trauma.

A book that's about helping with grief by keeping it simple, because their new world is now all too complicated.

The beautiful story of the winged creature Ailis will charm and empower anyone coping with loss. He helps explain a way through this challenging time, giving readers mental health tools so they can learn to fly. To be free. Readers are introduced to grief processes that challenge often unhelpful phrases like "closure" and encourage continued bonds.

In Corinne's words: Of all the tools I was given to help after my unspeakable loss, it was the children's books on grief that made the most sense to me. I just needed something simple and beautiful during that time, and they gave me a lane to be in with my grief.

Learn to Fly joins other lived experience grief books such as It's OK That You're Not OK by Megan Devine, Welcome to the Grief Club by Janine Kwoh, and the magical The invisible String by Patrice Karst.

Helping loved ones as they live through this new reality can feel impossible as we search for ways to talk about grief or loving gifts for those dealing with loss. Learn to Fly is a thoughtful and empathetic vehicle to show that you are on this journey with them.
