Mother's Remembrance
A Ceremony to Honor the Departed Souls of our Children & Our Holy Wombs
Dear community,
May is the month for Mothers day…
As we come closer to Mothers Day-- we remember those souls that can not be with us today... regardless of the circumstances of their absence.
Women that have experienced the challenge of miscarriages, abortions, still birth or even early deaths of the beloved souls of these little ones, deserve the space to grieve and remember.
Many times, we face these challenges alone, in shame or in silence, with not much sacred space to grieve, to acknowledge and to fully face what has happened to us, to the souls that have come and gone.
As women we have not had a holy, sacred space to grieve our losses in this way… preventing us from coming to greater acceptance and forgiveness for ourselves… and for the burdens we have had to carry.
Instead, we have received shame, blame and guilt over these occurrences… layering more pain, over the grief of our hearts.
Let us come into sacred space….
Let us honor our children, born and unborn, because their lives mattered, regardless of how brief they were.
Let us honor ourselves and the challenges that we have gone through in these challenges and impossible choices that we may have had to make.
Their spirits touched ours, leaving imprints of hope, of sorrow, of longing, of transformation.
Unspoken grief can root itself in the body and soul, and ceremony gives it a place to breathe, to be witnessed, and to be sanctified.
Let us take the time to honor them…
And release them into the arms of the Great Mother, into the gardens of Spirit, where they are not forgotten, but embraced.
Let us honor them so that the living can heal, so that the river of love can flow again without being dammed by unexpressed pain.
Let us honor the grief — so that we may restore the holiness of our wombs.
Let us honor them… because healing is not forgetting. Healing is loving fully—and letting them be free.
Little stars,
we remember you.Carried by love,
cradled by the Mother,
woven into the veils of light.May your spirits be free,
May your light travel on,
May your memory be a blessing
in the hearts that loved you.~leonor murciano-luna
A Mother’s Remembrance: Ceremony for the Departed Souls of Our Children
Join us May 18, 2025, Sunday online 10:00am EDT, for our Ceremony. Registration here.
This ceremony is a prayer for the beloved children who touched our lives in ways seen and unseen.
It is a sacred honoring of those whose journey ended through miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, or early death—those whose presence, however brief, left an imprint on the soul. Here, we make space for grief to breathe, for love to flow, and for memory to be cradled in the arms of the Great Mother. Without shame, without judgment, we acknowledge the sorrow and the beauty entwined in these stories. Through prayer, remembrance, and shamanic ritual, we offer a bridge of light—guiding these precious souls home, healing our wombs, and healing the hearts of those who carry their memory.
It is an opportunity for our hearts to grieve... allow ourselves to honor the departed souls and to bring peace, to both ourselves and our loved ones, in this ceremony.
Once you register please make sure you bring the few items that are listed-- for your departed soul ritual and ceremony. We will have an opportunity to share, write a letter, participate in a shamanic ritual of soul tending and medicine song for the departed souls. As part of honoring the souls, we ask that you bring a food, drink or flowers to honor your departed beloved soul, something that has personal meaning-- and we will have a chance to share with the group. Of course, because this is happening virtually-- we will share the meaning and memory-- and keep the items in our home. Nonetheless, this is a powerful aspect of the ritual. Register here:
Many blessings,
Leonor Murciano-Luna
