About Finding Harmony
Finding Harmony: Emotional Healing After Pregnancy Loss is a zine created for anyone who has experienced the heartache of infertility, pregnancy loss, and/or infant loss. After going through three recurrent miscarriages, Rachel found that literature was hard to come by from writers without living children. Finding Harmony, named for her second and most traumatic loss, includes portions of her personal story, but brings focus to the reader’s experience through guided writing prompts and supportive resources.
Finding Harmony is a free resource made possible by a local artist grant from the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis. The first 500 copies were made available at the Share Walk For Remembrance And Hope in 2022. It is now available for download below. Please print out a copy for yourself or send to a friend.
All text and photographs by Rachel Helden. Cover and overall design by Laura Grant Design. The first edition was printed by NJC Printing.
