Many women go through at least one abortion in their lifetime, yet in our society, abortion remains a taboo subject. As lucky as we are in the UK to have safe abortions, the nature of medical care has meant that while the process is quick and efficient, minimal thought has gone into the aftermath. How has it affected our bodies? Is it acceptable to grieve? How can we honor the loss?

Honoring the Loss is a guide that covers a whole spectrum of time; whether you are about to have an abortion or had one many years ago, there are specific exercises, meditations, herbs, and rituals for each stage of this journey. Woven throughout is the wisdom of herbal medicine; as you discover which herbs to take for common physical or emotional imbalances, as well as learning how to make your own herbal teas, tinctures, and oils to empower your journey back to health.

Rituals offer the chance to transform any emotions or feelings in a way of beauty, as they open a new doorway that leads you to a place of peace and acceptance for all you have been through.
