Grief & Praise
Healing after Miscarriage or Pregnancy Loss
Welcome to this self-paced course to help you on your unique journey of integrating pregnancy loss. Whether this is something you have experienced recently or some time ago - you will benefit from this wisdom bank of information, resources, practices, contemplations, and meditations.
As women & mothers - the ability to bear life in our wombs is an immense responsibility. And the process of loss and grief should be held with respect, deep compassion, honouring and deep listening. Our sensitivity is a beautiful gift, even though at times in might feel like a burden. Any experience of loss is a journey deeper into ourselves and into the realm of Spirit. And while much of this inner healing work we do alone, there are ways we can draw on the collective wisdom and strength women.
Life is sacred.
And our process of grief is not just an expression of loss but also an expression of praise for this wild and fragile life.
Let us speak more openly about pregnancy loss so that we can break the stigma, the shame and the sense of isolation that many women experience. May this course guide you and help you integrate all you have experienced.
