🩷Support for the whole family!🩷
At a recent birth in July, I had the honor of supporting not only the birthing parents but also the grandparents, who were completely overwhelmed with emotion when they arrived immediately after their grandbaby came into the world.
It was such a powerful moment filled with joy, relief, love, awe and pure wonder all rolled into one. As I offered reassurance and gentle words to help them stay grounded, I could feel my own eyes welling up, I’ll admit I struggled to hold back the tears right along with them! 🥹
A few days ago I received an unexpected thank you gift from those grandparents. It wasn’t about the gift itself, but the thought behind it, a quiet recognition of what we all shared in that sacred moment. It reminded me why I do this work. Birth isn’t just about welcoming a baby, it’s about holding space for every heart in the room. The love, the emotion, the generations, it’s all part of the story. And every time, it humbles me to be invited in. 🩷
