Miscarriage
Losing a baby is a parents' worst nightmare and it can be hard on a family. There is a lot of trauma, disappointment and guilt involved. No matter in which part of our pregnancy we lose a baby, it is devastating. Bach Flower Essences can help us deal with the emotions so that we can keep going with our life and have peace with our "Little Angel in Heaven."

Losing a baby is a terrible experience and the grief can cause us to be numbed and withdraw. Star of Bethlehem helps us neutralize the effect of the trauma and it helps us to recuperate.

Willow: This Essence helps us when we feel bitterness and self-pity. We tell ourselves "I don't deserve this. Why should this happen to me?" our grief has turned into resentment and self-pity, we feel that life has been unfair to us and we are not able to move forward and have lost faith. Willow helps us regain faith and optimism and we will once more be able to enjoy life.

A miscarriage can be so devastating that we feel it is more than we possibly can handle, we might be hysterical or exploding in sudden rage. Cherry Plum helps us to be calm and think and act rationally.
Have Faith!!!
