Messages to those seeking healing and hope from those who have been there and know:
I was angry and holding bitterness deep in my heart for my parents who encouraged me to abort my baby. They said my life would never be a success with having a child as a single mom. For years I hid my secret anger at my parents, at myself, the boyfriend and others who would not support me. I never realized how much damage that anger did to my life until I dealt with it in group. Letting go was like breaking free. - A.
I wonder, outside the abortion clinic people yell at you and scream and hold signs up. I wonder why they are not standing at the back door ready to take you in their arms instead of at the front door screaming? That is where they are needed - standing at the back door to help those of us who have to pick up the pieces and try and make sense of what just happened. I was never the same again and no one was there to help me figure it out until now. - J.
I did not tell anyone my secret for 13 years. When I saw the study offered in the church bulletin I thought, "This is it! my chance to be free!" Just sitting in a safe group with others that have been through the same thing that understand the grief and depression made such a difference. The very first night I felt a bond with those women that will last a lifetime. - M.
