A Call to Begin Healing

 

Grief is a feeling when something is lost: A person, an idea, an expectation. Women can experience grief, anger or confusion about their birth for so many different reasons: For the loss of a child, for the loss of their idea of themselves, for their loss of trust in their bodies or their caregivers, for the loss of the expectation of a "perfect" or healthy baby.

 

Every childbirth brings both the birth of a child and the birth of a mother. These births have often been compared to a journey through a labyrinth, full of unexpected twists, and a Return to Life when the Journey is over. If either birth is traumatic, confusing or disappointing, a woman can feel "stuck" in the center of the labyrinth, confused about how to get out.

 

The Return Out of the Labyrinth

 

The Healing Birth Memories workshop is created for all women who are grieving the birth of their child.

 

No one will emerge from this workshop "All better", never again to feel sadness or anger surrounding their experience. But we will all emerge with more curiosity about where we were strong, where we honored our child and ourselves by being guided by love. We will emerge with new eyes, and better support for how to begin to emerge from the birth labyrinth. And we will emerge having been heard.

 

If feelings of grief, anger, regret, shame, resentment or confusion are keeping you feeling "stuck" after the birth of your child, join us for the Healing Birth Memories workshop.
