Shop for Original Artwork by Trista Rakow

My name is Trista Rakow. I’m a mother to a 3 year old son named Everett and an angel baby named Audrina. During my 20 week ultrasound, my daughter was diagnosed with Thanophoric Dysplasia, a death bearing condition. She likely passed away during labor from a rare uterine tear that nearly took my life. I’ve been blogging about my experience under my Minnesotan Mom Blog, to heal and help other mammas suffering from grief. I believe life will be what you make of it regardless of the heartaches you might endure. All I ever wanted in life was a daughter, and God gave me one. I live in honor of Audrina by living passionately with gratitude and never taking any of life’s blessings for granted.
