Healed by a Silent Heart, Hearing the Voice of the Divine Feminine in the Silence of a Stillbirth is a story of transformation. Kathi Quinn shares how her own voice of shame led her to believe that she was responsible for the life-death-birth of her son, Jason.
In her mid-fifties, with multiple marriages, bankruptcy and lost careers behind her, it was a series of abnormal pap smears that finally led Kathi to look within for the roots of self-sabotage. Even today, stillbirth and miscarriage is an event that a mother must “just get over and move on.”
Kathi’s story invites the reader to view pregnancy as a sacred bond between a mother and her unborn baby. With her raw and authentic voice, she shares the extent of the mental and emotional devastation that occurs when that bond simply disappears in a silent heart.Kathi’s desire to heal her Voice of Shame opened her heart to the Infinite healing of Mother Mary’s Voice of Love. Giving words to the sacred experience of birth, Mary then guides Kathi to understand how belief in her own brokenness, resulting from childhood sexual abuse, caused her to believe she was responsible for Jason's death. True healing comes about through a beautiful and stunning human dialogue on acceptance, forgiveness and Oneness.
Mothers that have lost an unborn baby or child, family members that seek to understand and support them, and professionals that are present in the moment of birth will benefit from knowing of Kathi’s experience, as it is the experience of so many.
“I didn’t want to put this book down and read it with just one break. I am not a mother and cannot relate to losing a baby or child, but this story was still relatable. It speaks to the way we quiet our pain for ourselves or others. How trauma affects our voice even though we may not know it. How eventually realizing loving ourselves and every part of ourselves to lift up to and live the life we want to live. How the simple yet powerful thing breathing is. I am grateful and honored to have read it.“
