What Actually Happens When an Amish Wife Asks for a Divorce
The morning I sat with Miriam Yoder while she waited for her husband to come home, I had a jar of calendula salve in my hands and nowhere to put it. I had come to check on her youngest, a boy of four months who had been slow to feed. But the baby was sleeping, and Miriam was not. She sat at the kitchen table with her hands flat on the wood, very still, the way women sit when they have already made a decision and are only waiting for the courage to say it aloud. The house smelled of woodsmoke and something else, something sour underneath, the way a room smells when grief has been living in it long enough to settle into the walls. I set the jar down on the counter. I did not say anything yet. I had learned, in more than thirty years of walking into Amish homes, that some silences are not empty. Some silences are full. This one was full. #RachelTheAmishMidwife #AmishMidwife #AmishStories #AmishLife #AmishWomen #ExAmish #AmishSecrets #BehindThePrayerCap #PlainCommunity #AmishTruth
