Seamonster by Chiara Berardelli

The songs on this album have been inspired by the loss of my dream of one day becoming a mother. It's an invisible loss, hard to put into words, even harder to talk about over dinner. The grief I experienced stretched its' tentacles into all of my relationships and every aspect of day to day life. I stumbled upon Gateway Women, a global friendship group for women coping with involuntary childlessness. It was a lifeline to me.
I would like to dedicate this album to all those who tread the rocky path to 'Somewhere New'.
