    brought tears to my eyes... that, in pictures, is how (I think) we all feel.  definitely worth 10,000 times 1,000 words.

    Can you tell me where you found this image? I'd like to know the artist just out of curiosity.  

    I think the pain we have all endured is eloquently depicted. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm going to guess that the artist has had a miscarriage.  She definitely "gets it".  What a powerful image.  Crying
