The superstar couple is celebrating the birth of new daughter Blue Ivy Carter. This very private couple revealed in a new song, by rap mogul Jay-Z, an earlier miscarriage that the couple had. The new song named “Glory” features the crying of their new baby Blue Ivy. Some of the song lyrics are: “Last time, the miscarriage was so tragic,” “We was afraid you would disappear. But nah, baby, you magic.”“False alarms and false starts / all made better by the sound of your heart,” “All the pain over the last time / I prayed so hard it was the last time.” “The most amazing feeling I feel, words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real / Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you.

In an official announcement by the couple it was said that “Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven.”

It is great news that they brought a healthy baby to term but so many mothers who have one and maybe many miscarriages suffer such a private loss. In fact many people are afraid to tell anyone they are pregnant before the 3rd month, just in case. Our society seems to render miscarriage invisible, no one wants to talk about it. The first trimester is when a woman does the work of creating the baby. Every organ in the baby’s body is formed, and the mother can experience extreme fatigue and nausea. Women need to be supported through this vulnerable period where they were already planning and dreaming, talking to their fetus, and maybe even considering a name. After a loss it’s normal to feel shock, grief, depression, guilt, anger, and a sense of failure and vulnerability.

The days, weeks, and even months following a loss can be incredibly difficult and painful. If you are someone who has experienced a miscarriage, first know that it is not your fault, it can happen to anyone. Be open and honest with your partner, remember he is going through it too and might need your support as well. Men and women grieve differently, your husband may be holding his grief inside. There is no right or wrong way to deal with grief, you will need each other to find your own way. Allow yourself to feel the sadness, don’t try to get over it quickly. Allow yourself to experience the waves of grief as they come.

Most people want to say something comforting but don’t know what to say. Try not to take it personally if they say the wrong thing or nothing at all. Sharing your story will allow you to feel less alone and help you heal. You may be surprised who comes out and shares their story of miscarriage with you, that you never knew about. Miscarriage is such a common trauma, there is no reason to be alone with it.

Help dealing with grief and loss.

It’s that time of year to make your New Years resolutions! After overeating and overspending,   Christmas is followed by the austerity measure known as New Year’s resolutions.

Most people don’t know where to begin making the change they want in their life they just know that they want to make changes for the better in their life. Hypnosis and New Year’s resolutions go hand in hand because a detailed action plan is what is needed for success in keeping your resolutions.

The American Psychological Association cites research which shows that nearly two-thirds of resolution-makers will give up on their goal at the six-month mark. Seeing a hypnotherapist to help you with your plan can be the best way to make sure you are successful with your goals, whether it be loosing weight or changing jobs. Number one it has to excite you, there’s no sense in making a new year’s resolution just for the sake of making one. If you can’t pinpoint what excites and motivates you about a daily exercise program or finally organizing your office, then you might have some more self-examination to do.

Most of us think that change is difficult. We know what we want but not knowing how to get there is always the overwhelming reason most people don’t follow through with their resolutions.

It’s important that people make their healthy resolutions simple, specific and action-oriented, to help keep them on target. Make simple changes to your nutrition plan, such as a goal to eat at least 3 salads

a week or walk every other day for 20 minutes. Make sure it is something that you will do. If you make it too difficult you will give up before you even begin.

An example would be to schedule at least two exercise appointments per week for 2 months. Schedule it on your smart phone or your calendar like you would any other appointment. Taking time for yourself is just as important  as any other scheduled event whether it be with the dentist or a lunch date with a colleague. Setting it for 2 months means there’s an end-point and you can reassess after that time if this resolution is working for you of if you’d like to change your plan.

If you have clear picture of what you want to achieve, why you want it, and how to get there, keeping a resolution through to the end of the year is a lot easier. Get the support you need to make your goals happen, we all need a little help once in awhile. Good Luck and enjoy your new year!
