“I probably would not even be here if you did not have that abortion.”
Those are sentiments expressed by many siblings of aborted babies, sentiments that bring up a host of feelings. Guilt for being alive, yet gratitude for the gift of life. Love for their parents, but disappointment and anger over the abortion. Questions of whether they were wanted, desperation to understand, and more often than not, a loneliness born out of the assumption that they’re isolated in their feelings. Would my name be the same? Where do I go with all of these feelings?
Providing a safe place for those who suffer from sibling survivor guilt is crucial. A place just for them, where they can express all their feelings without fear: Fear of being judged because of feelings they have, fear of others judging their parents, and fear of hurting those who are already suffering because of an abortion.
If you are a sibling of an aborted baby and stgruggling with these and other feelings, join us June 19-21 for a weekend retreat of healing.
You are not alone!
