“We wanted to explore our personal issues with infertility through a couple drowning in grief as they go through a cathartic exercise to honor their lost child. It was important to us that they have differing opinions and be at different places in their grieving but instead of growing apart, as many couple can during these times, this ceremony brings them closer together. It reminds them that they still love each other and that they are more than the scars they share. So instead of abandoning each other in their times of need, they’re going to get through it together. ”
