Between 2009 and 2013, Tara Shannon experienced more grief than most people experience in a lifetime.
She experienced a miscarriage, the end of her marriage, the loss of both of her parents, and a cancer diagnosis. To top it all off, while on medical leave from work, her job was also terminated.
All of these circumstances left Tara in a dark, cold and lonely place, but she knew sooner or later she would have to work through all of her feelings.
It was art and writing that eventually helped Tara to reach the place she is in today. It started with a simple illustration of a rabbit. Later, Tara added the character Bear, which she describes as a combination of her parents, grandparents, and a wiser version of herself.
