the way leftists talk about mothers and pregnancy is so blatantly misogynistic it blows my mind that so many of these people call themselves feminists. you sound like MEN!!

[miamignonette]

“you aren’t entitled to special accommodations just for being pregnant, you aren’t special just because you let someone cum in you! look what pregnancy and childbirth did to your body, it’s horrific! you’re so selfish! can’t you just stay inside with your kids instead of taking them out in public?” YOU ARE A MISOGYNIST!!

Studies show that engaging in ritualized behavior significantly improves outcomes on measures of grief and feelings of control, even when the person participating in the ritual has little or no belief in the ritual’s power. Just a reminder for no one in particular.

[littlewildmother]

Research has revealed that, while rituals are universal across human cultures, the content and actions of those rituals vary widely even when they have the same intended purpose. This suggests that it is not the actions that matter, but that you are taking any action at all and naming it ritual. It can be an elaborate ritual with dozens of moving parts and participants, or it can be as simple as lighting a candle alone with the intent to remember someone.

The healing is in the doing.
