Grief Dare

I'm helping judge a project created by a friend. I met Heidi when I was faced with loosing you sweet Sage and she's been wonderful ever since. I am happy that she is allowing me to be apart of this new project of hers. I also feel inorder to judge i need to do it...so I am.

This is the second's weeks Dare. I had to create in any artsy way I wanted my emotions that I felt during my pregnancy with you... the moment I found I was pregnant. I choose to make this:


It's a sculpt of a woman laying on her side. Swirled with the colors represented in the flowers in the front of her. Here is my explanation of them:

Green -- The color of jealousy (I can never have a happy worry free pregnancy, Kaitlin's loss took that from me, so from the moment I am see I"m pregnant the worry sets in. I'm jealous of those who still have claim to that naivety...)

Dark Purple -- For Kaitlin, because with every pregnancy and everything I do she is apart of that

Yellow -- for Joy. I'm pregnant and most definitely happy about it

Red -- for the love I felt the moment I knew you existed

Black -- for the depressing feelings that always shadow mind worrying if I will bring home you my baby

Light Purple --  For hope, for the pure hope it all works out and we bring a baby home

Pink -- because I did get to bring a baby girl home (Emilie) so she is also always carried with me in my mind and soul.

I laid the figure on a worry stone and shrouded it in white for peace. After trying for so long It was peaceful to think we were pregnant again.

I also attempted which it worked out alright to add my first ultrasound picture to the belly area :)



Remember this was meant to represent how I felt when I first found out I was pregnant not after the ultrasounds or loss. :)
