A Birth Healing Blessing....

Verse...  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:13



Thought for the day...  "Some say you are too painful to remember, I say you are too PRECIOUS to forget!"

A Birth Healing Blessing




Blessed sister, beautiful one

with broken wings.

Your journey is a difficult one

that no mother should have to endure.

Your path is steep, rocky and slippery

and your tender heart is in need of gentle healing.



Breathe deeply and know that you are loved.

You are not alone,

though at times, you will feel like a

desolate island of grief

untouchable

distant.

Close your eyes.

Seek the wisdom of women who have walked this well-worn path before you,

before,

and before,

and before you yourself were born.

These beautiful ones

with eyes like yours

have shared your pain, and

weathered the storms of loss.



You are not alone (breathe in)

You will go on (breathe out)

Your wings will mend (breathe in)

You are loved (breathe out)
