How can mythology and folklore be a tool for healing? In episode 39, Sabrina Fletcher, a bereavement doula incorporates myth storytelling in her grief circles for pregnancy loss, drawing on ancient stories, myths, and archetypes to facilitate healing. These narratives can act as reminders that we are not alone in our experiences. Inspired by her own loss and the lack of community support, Sabrina became a doula, offering support to others in their grief. We delve into how rituals and folktales are healing. We explore a few folktales such as Persephone’s descent into the underworld (symbolizing grief) and La Llorona (a crying woman associated with loss) and how she uses them in her work. Don’t miss this fascinating episode!
