Steps to healing
Recognize that you are not alone. Many have walked before you through this pain and suffering and found healing.
It is normal to mourn the loss of your child. Learn to grieve this loss in a healthy way so that your heart can begin to heal.
Healing takes time and effort. God’s forgiveness can be received immediately, although sorting out your emotions and overcoming the temptation to give in to feelings of guilt, grief and shame will take time.
Healing involves reconciliation on many levels: reconciliation with the children you have lost, reconciliation to God, reconciliation to anyone who supported the decision or didn’t offer support, and finally reconciliation with your self.
Once you learn to forgive others, you will learn how to forgive yourself and understand that God’s mercy is there for all of us, even those of us who have experienced abortion.
A healing ministry can help you to begin your journey of healing through referrals to specially trained priests for issues you may be facing on the spiritual level and/or a licensed counselor who can help you take some steps toward healing.
Attend a group healing event for support and to hear from others who share your experience to help you understand that you are not alone and that healing is possible.
