3 Miscarriages !
TW: ⚠️ miscarriage, baby loss, spiritual work 🩷
Please note: I am in no way blaming this woman for her miscarriage experiences. Miscarriage is complex, deeply personal, and deserves to be met with compassion, care, and space to grieve.
However, within African Traditional Religions (ATRs), we also understand that there can be a spiritual layer to reproductive experiences.
Sometimes, through divination, we may uncover spiritual work, ancestral obligations, initiations, taboos, or callings that require attention. When that work is revealed and remains undone, we believe it can impact different areas of a person’s life.
This client experienced three miscarriages, and regardless of what was revealed spiritually, she still had to grieve each pregnancy and each loss. Spiritual understanding does not erase grief.
One way we can support a client through an experience like this is by helping her move beyond simply asking, “Why did this happen to me?” and creating space to ask, “What support do I need spiritually, emotionally, and physically as I move forward?”
That may look like grief support, ancestral work, divination, womb healing, baby release or burial ceremonies, spiritual cleansing, and appropriate medical care.
This is why I teach my Womb Practitioners to look at the whole woman. The womb does not exist separately from the mind, body, spirit, or lineage.
Our job is not to assign blame. Our job is to know how to hold the woman, honor the babies, support the grief, and understand when deeper work may be calling.
This is the difference between simply providing a service and knowing how to hold sacred womb work.
