I've always heard that photography could Jonathan Dale Bentonbe therapeutic, and after losing both of my parents within 364 days of one another, I knew this to be true. I remembered this healing power when I was 13 months postpartum with my healthy baby son and deep in depression. His birth was traumatic; I was invisible, and my pain went ignored for days at the hospital. My heart weighed so heavy in my chest that it felt as if I was drowning.

"Are you looking for stories about stillbirth?" one grandmother asked, and that is how The Loss Mother's Stone began.
