Sheridan - The Gift of Giving Life

Partnership between two mothers hearts.

It was difficult, as we were finalizing our book’s contents, to choose which of the many wonderful spiritual stories we had received would be included. We consoled ourselves, however, as we made those difficult decisions, with the assurance that we would post the extra stories here on our website. The following is one of those tender stories.

Giving the gift of life is sometimes a partnership between two mother hearts—a birth mother yearning for a loving home for the child in her womb and another mother eagerly awaiting the child she has “grown” within her heart. I hope you enjoy Judith’s story of the adoption of her second son as much as I did. —Lani

Hilary’s Footling Breech Cesarean Birth

3 Comments / Sheridan

I hadn’t forced anything by doing a version or getting an induction, both choices I was fine with making, of course. It was just reassuring to me when my water broke and left us with one, clear answer. I wasn’t nervous anymore (still freaked out about the recovery, but the surgery itself, I was really pretty chill with), and it no longer seemed like the undesirable choice. It was just the way this baby needed to come into the world, and who was I to argue with that or stress or worry about it. It was right, and I knew it.

Kristy has a Spiritual Cesarean Section

1 Comment / Sheridan

I met Krysti on the Hypnobabies Yahoo Group. She was planning a natural birth, but her baby was persistently breech. It was interesting watching her journey as she had to make tough choices in regards to her babies birth. I was excited to read her birth story and see how in the end she had

My favorite birth I didn’t attend…

1 Comment / Sheridan

Awhile ago Robyn posted about a birth that changed her heart. It made me think about a recent birth I didn’t attend, at least not physically. One of my dearest friends started as my Hypnobabies student many years ago. She asked me to be her doula. I attended Mia’s birth and it was a fine

Choir Christmas Miracle Birth Story

1 Comment / Sheridan

For me singing in choir spiritually feeds me. It is something that I need to do and luckily I enjoy it too. I will say sometimes singing can feel overwhelming at Christmas time. My 3 boys and I are singing in our Stake’s Sing Noel performance this weekend. We have been practicing each week since

Christmas Carols Spread the Message of Jesus Through the World

4 Comments / Sheridan

I grew up in a home without religion. My parents are amazing and raised me well, but faith wasn’t a part of our life. Except for Christmas Carols. Every Christmas we would play Christmas Carols and sing them together. I vividly remember driving around town, seeing the snow falling and singing Carols with my Mom

Does Eve, the Mother of All Living attend births?

7 Comments / Sheridan

I love attending births as a doula, especially over the past few years as I have grown closer to the spirit and I have been praying for my spiritual eyes to be opened. I can now easily sense that there are spiritual beings at births too. Angels and ancestors are near. The veil is so thin as

Eve and Mary, their sacrifices and their fruit.

Sheridan

I love so much about this print with Eve and Mary. It causes me to deeply reflect… The sacrifice Eve made so we could all be mothers. Eve carrying the fruit that caused the fall. Eve twisted up with the serpent and her humility in the role she was sent to fulfill. The sorrow and gratitude they
