Welcome to your hopefilled
healing journey.
How can we help you on your healing journey?
We could tell you what we think you might need,
but then it would not be your healing journey!
However without planning your whole itinerary, we would like to suggest that you keep a look out for --
YIKES -- the place in your journey where you come to realize that to go further you will have to name and claim your responsbility in the abortion choice.
WHEW -- the place that reassures you that you do not have to heal anyone else but you.
THANK GOODNESS -- the place where at first you will find that the healing journey will be difficult but, as you leave, the view will be unbelievable!
WOW -- the place where you will encounter your child who is alive in the Lord, and, like the Lord, loves you unconditionally and is rejoicing in being reunited with you.
What am I seeking?
Peace? Forgiveness? To Forget? Shame-free?
It is so much easier to see our progress if we have set some kind of goal. Don't be surprised if this goal changes as you continue to heal.
Am I worthy of Forgiveness?
(You Most Certainly Are!!)
The Lord reaches out to each one of us continually offering his love and mercy. Our healed Project Rachel women provide proof of this Forgiveness in the Pastel Brochures on this site.
I am experiencing feelings that are tearing me apart, such as guilt, grief, shame. What other feelings have you noted?
Have you felt perhaps that you were the only one experiencing such regret?
With over 100,000 abortions a year in Canada, there are other women suffering as you are. You are not alone in the pain and, more importantly, you need not be alone in the healing.
I want to name my baby but I am not sure if it is a boy or a girl.
The Lord knows for sure. All you need to do is ask him and you will have your answer. We have found that many women already have chosen a name. It seems to be part of the natural unbreakable mother/child bond.
I felt I did not have a choice.
That is the important word -- felt. At the time, you may have felt that you did not have a choice. You may want to take a few minutes now and list the reasons that led you to feel that you had no other choice. During our 2006 support group, one of our Project Rachel women commented that she had come to realize that all her reasons for choosing to have an abortion were all lies!
But now we want you to feel good about this next choice -- a life-giving choice to accept your post-abortion healing and be reunited with your child.
