Release: A Ritual for Abortion Grief

A Guided Ritual for Honoring Loss, Reclaiming the Body, and Making Meaning
 
This downloadable ritual offers a sacred, private space to honor the complex and often unspoken grief that can follow an abortion. Whether your experience was recent or years ago, chosen or conflicted, this ritual gently guides you through a process of remembrance, release, and reclamation.
Rooted in mythopoetic wisdom and somatic healing, the ritual includes:
A symbolic altar setup
A guided invocation and closing
Writing prompts and ceremonial actions
A mythic frame inspired by Persephone’s descent
Practices for embodiment and integration
 
Created by a trauma-attuned psychotherapist, this ritual is a tender container for those navigating the emotional and spiritual layers of abortion grief. It invites wholeness, not resolution — honoring what was, what is, and what may yet come.
 
Perfect for personal ritual or for therapists, doulas, and space-holders supporting others through reproductive loss.
