Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

"My own abortion haunts me yet, but in those moments of sadness, I have
most often found a way to let myself be carried to deep reflection and remember
the constant reminders of mercy that I heard during my healing journey. Thus,
despite time limitations and life stresses, my healing continues, and most
times now, I choose mercy when darkness calls." ~ Mary Ellen

 


Where and who are the post abortive?

They are everywhere.  They are in our schools, churches, workplaces, and
families.  They are your friends, colleagues, mothers, fathers, sisters,
brothers, aunts, grandmothers, and maybe… you.

Society often does not acknowledge the very real feelings and/or destructive
behavior that happens as a result of abortion.

These feelings can become suppressed leaving the post abortive person
feeling as though they have no where to turn, that they are somehow different
from everyone else, and that they are crazy.

If you are post abortive, please know… You
are not crazy.  You are not different.  You are not alone.

You are grieving a real loss that no one allows you to acknowledge.  In
fact, there are many who have gone before you who now face life with joy
because they have allowed themselves to grieve and work through their
feelings.  Some of the most common post abortion reactions include…

If you recognize yourself
in any of these reactions, please call Lumina for help.  We will always
protect the privacy of those who call.  Your days of feeling alone will be
over as you see others reaching beyond their guilt and regret, finally
realizing that hope is within reach.

You
have a right to receive help and understand your conflicting emotions.
You have a right to understand what is happening to you.
You have a right to grieve.
You have a right to feel good again.
No matter how you feel now, it is possible.
