Abstract

The three crucial aspects at the heart of the journey toward healing after miscarriage and stillbirth are pastoral, physiological, and psychological. It starts with drawing close to the heart of Christ so that He can transform our minds, bodies, and souls. The sufferer will move from feelings of abandonment to the knowledge of a powerful accompaniment. This passage toward healing reflects Christ, who unites our humanity with his divinity, meets us in our pain, and accepts us as we are in life. The pastoral dimension guides us toward the God who is love, manifested through peace and mercy. The physiological dimension addresses the physical trauma experienced by the body and keeps mothers connected to their children. The psychological dimension heals the mind following injury by way of continuous renewal and transformation through the love of God.
