I work in an Assisted Living Community and someone I work
with Marsha, was in a severe car accident. She was driving at night and I was told it
was adverse conditions (raining) and she went off the road hitting a tree head
on. When I was told about her I was in shock because the first thing I heard
was she had a head injury and was on a ventilator and had not woke up in 5 days. This news I received was not
promising, in fact it was not sure if she would even make it.
Head injuries are serious and being on a ventilator makes
you wonder if the brain is not functioning correctly that she is unable to
breathe on her own. My perception of her outcome was not good to be honest,
then as I felt sadness wash over me I quickly decided to push such negative
thoughts away. I know negative thoughts will only bring more negative thoughts
and situations. So I told myself just have faith she will recover and I started
praying for her.
I began praying and visualizing her healing and believing
she was healed. I know in my own life and by others that healing comes from
believing and having faith. I go to bed at night and I have a healing mantra I
use among other affirmations that I use as I’m going to sleep which is, “Thank
you for my healing.” I give thanks and praise each night and recently when I
wake up I use this as well. I’ve noticed a healing spirit within since this
became a routine.
I’ve added to my ritual “Thank you for Marsha’s healing.”
Because we are all connected and I know the power in prayer and faith. Faith
can heal.
The response in our community with staff has been amazing.
She’s in a different city and everyone is driving to see her. Check on her,
make sure she knows we care and love her. I’ve never seen such a response and
it’s beautiful to see.
