about the piece.
In Rachel's words, "This is my depiction of the weight that I feel. It's always there. I assume it may someday become less heavy...or maybe I just replace it with other things as I progress through life without my daughter."

about the artist.
Rachel lives in Kansas with her husband of four years and a gray cat. They lost their first child, Lyra, at 30 weeks due to a cord accident on December 18, 2009. Rachel maintains a blog called Curls O Fred.

  1. Another beautiful, heartbreaking piece, Rachel. I feel that same weight also. I think it is getting easier to lug around though, if that helps or offers any hope to you.
