In the Womb of Love

Aida Salazar lost a baby and quickly found herself pregnant with another. Struggling to find an open heart in the midst of fear, she did what artists, and many other grievers, do; she accessed her creative expression as a way to make sense of her experience. Over time, her writings began to become a memoir of her experience. In the Womb of Love is a love letter to both babies, a deep expression of the love and struggle she went through after her loss- and continuing forward as she found her way, parenting two living children. In beautiful language, she evokes the experience of loss and what she made of it, allowing us to share in that most profound moment in her life.
