This is so moving. I recently wrote a poem capturing the rage without a place to go that I had related to my son's birth 10 years ago. It brought a revelation that I was really angry at myself. And that allowed forgiveness. It really is powerful.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and yes returning to these experiences even 10 years after can be so powerful. I am happy you were able to welcome in forgiveness. It truly is such a journey and the rage is real.
This is so powerful. I’ve been contemplating writing and sharing my birth story here... I really want to do it. I shared my first daughter’s on a podcast and it was so soothing. For some reason I’ve found it doesn’t feel like I can share it in the same way this time because I had a planned abdominal birth. But I also know that for this reason it makes it even more important! I think it’s time the story was written and spoken and witnessed as you say... to fully integrate and bring a sense of closure. X
Lauren, I am so happy that this resonates with you and even inspires you to write your other birth story, planned or no planned, I really believe there is power in it all and I would be honored to read it if and when you decide to share. Wishing you well.
So moved by Your Words. Thank you 🤍🤲🏼
