Paperback. How does a mother survive the death of her only child?When Luna Jaffe's son, Hunter, died suddenly at twenty-two, her world split open. Nothing could prepare her for the tidal wave of grief that followed, nor for the silence it imposed. In the wreckage, she reached for what had always guided her-art, language, ritual. On Hunter's grave, she laid mandalas made of flowers and feathers. In the studio, she painted watercolors steeped in sorrow. In the quiet hours, she wrote letters, poems, and prayers, each one a thread across the abyss.Look Mom, I Can Fly: Notes from the Wide Skies of Grieving My Only Child gathers these creations into a work that is at once memoir, art book, and love letter. Across more than 300 pages of full-color images, poetry, and prose, Jaffe charts the first year of mourning-where beauty and despair walk hand in hand.This is not a book of answers or platitudes. It is a book of presence. Jaffe writes with unflinching honesty about the fury, tenderness, disbelief, and longing that shape grief. She also reveals how creativity became her lifeline, offering a way to bear what otherwise felt impossible.For parents who have lost children, for anyone walking through the wilderness of grief, and for communities searching for ways to companion the bereaved, Look Mom, I Can Fly is both mirror and map. It testifies to love that does not die, to memory that refuses to fade, and to the possibility of beauty even in the ruins. A raw, luminous memoir of loss and love. After her only child died, Luna Jaffe turned to art-mandalas, watercolors, poems, letters-to stitch her broken heart. A companion for grief, revealing how creativity holds the unbearable.

When Luna Jaffe’s only child, Hunter, died suddenly at the age of twenty-one, her world split open. In the aftermath, grief became both her ground and her sky—a terrain she could neither map nor escape. Out of the wreckage, she began to create: flower mandalas laid tenderly on Hunter’s grave, watercolors stained with sorrow and light, letters scrawled in the night, poems and prayers stitched into pages.
Look Mom, I Can Fly is the luminous record of that first year of grieving, told in words and images that shimmer with unbearable loss and startling beauty. Part memoir, part art book, part love letter to her child, this book is a companion for anyone walking through the wilderness of grief.
With fierce honesty and lyrical grace, Jaffe offers no easy consolations. Instead, she shares the raw textures of mourning—rage, tenderness, disbelief, wonder—and shows how creativity became both an anchor and a wing.
This is a book for mothers who have lost children, for those who grieve in silence, for communities learning to hold one another through the unholdable. It is a testament to love that endures beyond death, and to the wild resilience of the human spirit when tethered to beauty, memory, and devotion.
