Sweetgrass Prayer Braid Hearts by
Pam outdusis Cunningham.
Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata) signifies
the hair of Mother Earth.
It has been used by my tribe in sacred
ceremonies for millenia.  For prayer, for
blessings.
This braid was made for you and your
loved one, as a service of Palliative Care
of Maine.
I carefully braided your loved one’s hair
into the heart of the sweetgrass prayer
braid.
This is a small offering, to you from us, in
the recent passing of your loved one.
Please accept our gift, in love and honor.
Sincerely,
Pam outdusis Cunningham
