Radiant Rainbows: Messages of Hope, Healing, and Comfort

Everyone experiences losses, tragedies, and unwanted events throughout their lives. During these times it can be difficult to find a way to move forward. Author (The Crafter’s Guide to Patterns) and artist Swift’s husband Ryan passed away four years ago, and she began to paint rainbows soon afterward to help commemorate his life. Over time, rainbows began to symbolize the love she received from her support community and led her to the realization “that gratitude and grieving could exist within me simultaneously.” Painting rainbows was Swift’s vehicle to help her copy and face her grief. This volume is filled with colorful rainbow artwork alongside accompanying mantras, poems, prayers, and affirmations to help readers find their own voice within life’s messiness. In her book she encourages people to welcome grief and ask what lessons it may hold. The prompts include empathy, courage, forgiveness, and more.
