A Simple Prescription for Natural Healing

I am very pleased to share with you my guest post featured yesterday on Lori Deschene’s  fabulous site, Tiny Buddha.

 

When my daughter, Nava, was critically ill, on a ventilator in a drug-induced coma for three months, one of the ICU doctors called me in after a couple of weeks to tell me that if she survives, it will be a long road.

He started writing out a prescription for an anti-anxiety medication to ‘help’ me through this horrific ordeal.  I certainly don’t fault him here as this was an extreme acute situation and he didn’t know if I could manage without falling apart.

His offering of ‘the pill’ was an awakening.
