I am a doula educator, childbirth author, trainee counsellor, mother and ex-midwife, I like to think that I am wholly natural/undisturbed birth orientated. Yet I have never considered this possibility. Very interesting indeed and thank you so much for flagging it up Felice! Thanks for posting this thought-provoking article Birth Faith!

So happy to hear your peace has been restored. I have been there, too, and sometimes even thinking about it brings back those fears and the panic again. But, just like contracting the chicken pox, your body has all the deep memories of resolution, the antibodies, to fight back when the chicken pox comes back again. Welcome "new you."

In the last year I have endured the loss of my father, the loss emotionally, relationally & spiritually of my baby sister, and a late stage miscarriage....  We are now moving back home, & although grateful for being home close to family we are struggling with all the change. There are very few people who understand what I've been through... Or know how to say the right things to someone who is grieving like I am.  Thank you for this post. For reminding me to look at how much I have endured... How strong I have already been...  You have been an encouragement to me. I wish I knew the right things to say to encourage you. Prayers & lots of love.  These words are not only beautiful, but so meaningful for me.

I haven't experienced anxiety like you and some people I'm close to have. But I am grateful that I grew in humility, compassion, and charity because of the trial of having my husband go to war twice. I know exactly Who helped us through it. Beautiful. I haven’t experienced anxiety like you and some people I’m close to have.
