After Abortion Healing

If you are visiting this page, the probability is that you have been touched by an abortion sometime in your life. If you are struggling with the after-effects of an abortion such as feelings of loss, grief, guilt or regret, or recurring nightmares, depression, thoughts of suicide, relationship problems, attempts to numb your pain through the use of drugs, alcohol, sex, or food, you have come to the right place.

We are here to provide you compassionate, non-judgmental understanding and hope for healing, peace and restored joy in your life. We aren’t miracle workers. We aren’t professional counselors. But we have experienced firsthand what you are going through and we have come out on the other side... We have found peace again and we want to help you find it as well.

For over ten years, women have been coming to the Pregnancy Care centers of South central Indiana for help in healing their emotional and spiritual wounds from abortion. The peer counselors understand the pain and loss that follows abortion. Those of us who have been hurt by abortion know the deep pain that goes along with it. We know about the overwhelming grief, the regret, the shame and the remorse. Often, we feel what we have done is too horrible to be forgiven, and we certainly don’t think we can ever forgive ourselves.

The result of every abortion is loss. It is a loss unrecognized by much of society, but one that is real and valid. This loss creates a wound that will not heal on its own. While the pain may come and go to greater and lesser degrees, and although you may be able to stuff it deep inside for a time, for most people it resurfaces, sometimes within five to ten years or as much as forty years after the abortion. But through the support group study, there is hope, there is healing and there is restoration.

We are here for you. We care. We want to help.
