“Domine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum, sed tantum dic verbo et sanabitur anima mea.” “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” These words, which are said in the Mass, now have a much different meaning to…

More Thoughts on Limbo
I recently traveled to Denver to visit some friends and family. It’s only been six months since we moved but I miss them so much and I had to return to see them. While there, one of my friends brought up the talk I gave at Our Lady of Mount Carmel on miscarriage. The talk…
Update on Limbo – Is My Baby in Limbo
An excerpt from my book on limbo. Is My Baby an Angel? No, your baby cannot be an angel. Angels are pure and bodiless spirits created at the beginning of time. They are purely spiritual in nature. Their “nature” is a bodiless one. There is nothing physical about them. So, God does not have another…
Can IVF be Forgiven?
One of the search phrases that lead people to my blog is the phrase, “Can IVF be forgiven?” I find this an interesting phrase and it’s a complex scenario. What I find very sad in this question is that someone must feel that this cannot be forgiven; which tells me, they also feel that IVF…
Not My Will, But Yours Be Done
Last July I was assisting with an event at my church, when a friend mentioned in passing that she had heard it was easy for demons to possess people. I knew this of course, but I listened to what she had to say. People become possessed through little ways and they don’t even have to…
First Catholic Book on Miscarriage
My article was finally released! The interview was a blessing and Makena wrote so eloquently about the first Catholic miscarriage book, Donum Dignitatis: The Catholic’s Guide to Miscarriage. I will admit I am nervous when interviews and articles come out. They open me up to criticism and I just don’t handle that well. I’m praying…

Psychology Professor Melissa Goldberg was fired from her position at The Catholic University of America for bringing and abortion advocate to speak to her classes. I have been a guest speaker at colleges on doulas and their role in childbirth many times. I also have experience with many facets of doula work including when abortion…
Chemical Pregnancy
I recently wrote about my miscarriage of my natural pregnancy at age 47. This type of miscarriage is often called a chemical pregnancy. I find this term perplexing and the friends I know who have been through a chemical pregnancy are left confused. I had never had a chemical pregnancy before but it’s worth discussing…
Miscarriage Book for Priests
“Answers a real need in the Church,” “I learned quite a bit,” “priests would definitely benefit,” “when this gets published, share the link with me so I can purchase it and recommend it to my brother priests” – These are all statements I have heard from the Catholic priests who have read my new miscarriage…
The Devil Doesn’t Want You To…
Monday, October 9, 2023“I know it’s crunch time in preparing for the Three Hearts Pilgrimage. Please remember the devil doesn’t want you to participate in the suffering of our Lord. So this is when he will throw doubt, fear and excuses at you to not do this Pilgrimage…” At the time my husband wrote and…
