I’ve been through similar (drew The Tower right before my own pregnancy loss, have yet to draw it since- it’s been two years). Happy about your solar return and looking forward to you creations, in whatever form they may be. ❤️

What a beautiful and inspiring kickoff to this new venture. Sending so much love & appreciation for you sharing this so openly with us! Some of the themes remind me a little of our 2020 conversations about dream symbolism during the creative project "birthing" process, tbh :) And overall, reading this makes me so excited and proud to know you and to watch this new venture unfold!!! <3 <3 <3

Amie miscarried her second pregnancy and although she said she was fine and it's natural and 10-20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, I knew it left scars. She'd told everyone she was pregnant. We were three months in when we learned there was no heartbeat. She began to bleed and passed a misshapen clump of bloody flesh on the sofa. I held her and we waited to make sure the bleeding stopped. That was it. No more pregnancy, and the weird thing was, no one noticed. She was pregnant, then she wasn't and all the people that had congratulated us, forgot about it, like nothing ever happened. Here we were, grieving what we thought of as a potential child, and no one else could see the void. Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm helping, but I thought I'd share our experience. We went on to have another baby, two years later, but the effects of that day lingered.
