Abortion Healing Assistance

Why Abortion healing?

Many women who choose abortion struggle with emotional, physical or spiritual distress after that choice. Most of these women are suffering in silence, not realizing that much of the difficulty they experience in their lives can be traced to the decision to abort and the circumstances that led them to make that one decision. And it’s not just the women who are affected. The men who would have been fathers are equally, yet differently affected.

What is Post-Abortion Stress?

Post-Abortion Stress is an adverse emotional reaction to abortion. It is often a delayed reaction and can surface at any time in a person’s life… and when it does, it can be confusing, painful and overwhelming.

symptoms and common reactions:

  • Anger, bitterness, resentment
  • Avoidance behaviors or addictions
  • Guilt / regret
  • Depression and/or suicidal impulses
  • Relationship struggles
  • Inability to bond with children
  • Loneliness or emotional numbness
  • Low self-esteem
  • Sense of loss
  • Sleeplessness / nightmares
  • Uncontrollable rage
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Unforgiveness toward self and others
  • Avoidance of conversations that deal with abortion

What to expect in the AHA study

The Abortion Healing Assistance program provides a confidential, non-judgmental, safe place for women and men who are seeking healing from the emotional and spiritual pain of abortion and enable them to:

  • Work through denial
  • Share fears and pain
  • Deal with guilt
  • Clear up misconceptions about God
  • Grieve the loss of their child
  • Come to acceptance
  • Experience emotional and spiritual recovery

Confidentiality is key to the Abortion Healing program. Meetings take place around the city to increase capacity and are always held when our Centers or meeting locations are closed.

“For fifteen years, I denied that I had terminated my child’s life. It wasn’t until I fell into a ‘dark hole’ of depression and anxiety that I cried out to God. Through the Forgiven and Set Free Bible Study, God poured out His grace and mercy upon me and healed my broken heart. Experiencing God’s unconditional love through this Bible study changed my life.”
