What Happened to Omnia Ferox Design on Etsy?

 For a handful of years I operated a moderately successful Etsy store selling my artwork and jewelry creations, but now when you try to visit my once-popular Etsy store, it's no more. What's worse: What used to be five stars, is now only one. It's heartbreaking to see from my end, and probably a little troubling to see by those who have shopped with me before. Well, here's what happened:

In 2023, I left my husband due to reasons surrounding abuse and general unhappiness. When I left, I left with nothing and had to relocated to a seedy weekly motel until I could figure my life out. I couldn't focus on my store, and I unwittingly neglected to ship out an order. I did issue a refund, and closed my store down promptly after discovering that a customer was unhappy, but when I closed down the store what was left in its place was a one-star review replacing the dozens of positive ones. 

It's a shame that it came to this, but it doesn't mean that I won't try again. Once life becomes more stable sans-divorce, the Omnia Ferox Design shop will eventually come back and hopefully we can all move past this minor bump in the road.

I found out very early, before I was even late for my period. Since I have a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, we nervously waited before announcing it to our loved ones (and the world). Unfortunately, we should've waited a little longer. We were at the end of what would be my fifth week of pregnancy before I started cramping, and then spotting. Within a few days of that, I started bleeding heavily. My fiance' rushed me to the emergency room, where I was given an ultrasound, and my blood was drawn. At the time, my HCG betas were at around 500, but the ultrasound couldn't find anything. I was diagnosed with a PUL (pregnancy of unknown location) and threatened miscarriage, but was told to come back in 48 hours to test my HCG levels again. As suspected, by the second blood drawing, my HCG levels had dropped to...
