Jocelyn feels that it connects her to her inherent ability to create in the face of not being able to create a life. Her process has provided a forum for both catharsis and possibility.

Rachel Rekord experienced her second pregnancy loss in 2010 in the form of an ectopic pregnancy, followed by emergency surgery. Taking a drawing class that fall helped her get out of bed on those crisp, late fall days. Drawing is also what gave Rachel an outlet this past winter after the birth of her daughter. When Rachel thinks about the losses of 2010, she is reminded of what she has today, her daughter, for which she wouldn’t trade anything, not even loss.
