23rd of Winter, 508 Today was my first day at the Place of Purging. I met a woman who went into labor prematurely. Veldrys said they managed to stop her contractions with an infusion of wild yam root and a few other herbs, but it's only a matter of time... She reminded me a lot of my mother's last surrogate--the one we lost. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her all day. I wish this feeling of helplessness would go away. There's so much I have to learn before I'll be able to do any good for anyone. My heart is aching.
