In 2014, I suffered a traumatic miscarriage. My husband was out of town, I was all alone, and nothing I found online was comforting or helpful. So, I decided to use my cartooning skills and create the emotional resource that I *wish* I’d had. I was lucky enough to have the support of actress Mayim Bialik, who helped to promote my “Miscarried” comic when it was officially launched in 2017. My dream was to turn the comic into an animated short as a way to help engage a new audience.
Seven years later, this dream is now a reality, thanks to the support of the Jewish Writers’ Initiative Digital Storytellers Lab and Maimonides Fund. I hope that this animation, as well as all the other comics and animated shorts in my “Unspoken” Cartoonmentary series, will continue to help others who are suffering silently to know that they are not alone.
