Creative Resources about Miscarriage and Still Birth
It was such a blessing to find all these creative works about Miscarriage and still birth and to add them to my own. I know the creativity I've found are just the tip of the iceberg and that so many millions of people will have created pieces of art as an outpouring of their grief. If you are reading this and have created something you'd like added, or have found a creative art form which has helped or touched you, then please email me and I'll add it.
The painting below is something I've been working on for the last few weeks, though in my mind for several months, depicting my four baby boys as sleeping angels.
