In 2018, we experienced two miscarriages. One in July & then an ectopic pregnancy 4 months later which resulted in emergency surgery with the removal of one of my Fallopian tubes. The best description I can find for miscarriages is invisible grief. There is no reminders of their presence in your life, all the hopes & dreams disappeared. There is nothing physical remaining after a miscarriage. No photos, no mementos, no physical evidence that those tiny souls ever existed. No one mentions their existence & you are left questioning if it really happened. Quietly dealing with that invisible grief. I reached out to Olivia Slater as I wanted something that connected us to our little babes spirits. I was so amazed by Olivia’s artistic expression, so many layers, so much detail & so much emotion. It brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to Olivia for her gift to be able to tune into our babes’ souls & communicate through her heartfelt, beautiful artwork. It is so touching to have a beautiful message from our babes & a reminder of their presence in our lives. Thank you Olivia, we are so grateful for your talented abilities.
