Birth
Giving birth to a baby is so much more than a physical phenomenon; it engages
parents in a transformational experience, a key life event full of emotion, meaning
and spiritual growth. The greatest need of a woman after giving birth is affirmation
and loving support. Our resources help provide this encouragement and ease the
adjustment to the challenges of having a newborn.
Doulas
A doula who accompanies a woman in labor mothers the mother, taking care of her
emotional needs throughout childbirth. A doula also provides support and
suggestions for partners that can enhance their experiences of birth. A postpartum
doula continues that valuable emotional support and guidance, helping a family
make a smooth transition into new family dynamics.
Elizabeth Ministry and the Life & Loss Institute have professionally trained doulas
to assist the family before, during and after birth.
Adoption
Our resources and services provide special support to families who are involved in
the adoptive process.
Further Resources
Guiding Perspectives: Prayer, Sacred Scripture, Church Teachings and Natural Law
