Before your abortion. . .

Before your abortion you were sure that this was the right thing for you:

• Your problems were insurmountable

• You had to make an immediate decision

• Your support system had eroded

• You were under extreme pressure

• You didn't know your options

• You feared rejection

• You had a right to your own choice

After your abortion...

After your abortion your emotional reactions to the abortion may have been suppressed for a long time. Now your initial sense of relief, of not being pregnant gives way to:

• A sense of loss

• A feeling of guilt

• Loneliness/alienation

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Relational changes with your partner

• Sleep disturbances, nightmares

• Separation from God

Whatever the reason for the abortion if you are now seeking a closer union with God, and spiritual healing, a compassionate, loving church is waiting.

• Are you ready to move towards the loving forgiveness of God?
• To accept His forgiveness?
• To begin the journey back to reconciliation with Him?
• Then give yourself the gift of a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat...
