Hi!
My arm is getting better slowly and can tolerate a little drawing movement, but...

Again, 3rd time lucky. I will not lose this response.
I absolutely love what you've done, and I'm sure will continue to do. You have such talent & sensitivty.
In a prior time, I was a midwife. The birth of a new baby is such a precious time. I always said my job was the best, until it was the worst. Having said that, to be able, in some small way, to help a family in those first hours & days after such a massive loss.... Gut wrenching, devastating, but somehow rewarding.
Have you heard of Heartfelt, an organisation with a network of volunteer photographers who go and take photos for families at these times, following the loss of a baby or young infant. Some of their photos are amazing.
You are an amazing woman with a beautiful talent, that I'm sure your friend appreciates.
Take care, Lyn
