Prayer can be a powerful tool for healing, and it works best when it is part of an overall caring routine. Here are some practical ways to incorporate prayer into your healing journey.

It's the end of January, and I made it through the second set of holidays without my son Eli. I don't have all the words to express how hard it was. But, with God's help and the help of the resources He's put on my path, I was able to make room. For love, peace, hope and holiday preparations. And for grief, sadness, and longing for my son. I am not sure how it all fit in my heart and soul, but it did. And then came the New Year...

Little did I know last April that I was about to receive an amazing gift. Now, sitting here days before Christmas, I’m unwrapping all that the retreat gave me. I am blessed to have a closer relationship with a God who loves me and only wants the best for me; I have a whole new group of women that I call my Sacred Sorrows sisters, who are there for me and praying for me whenever I need them; and I have a new sense of peace that I carry with me whenever I think about my son Christopher.
