Subject: Re: Ashamed...too many abortions. Author: Mary [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:03:15 10/21/06 Sat In reply to: Marie 's message, "Ashamed...too many abortions." on 18:21:53 10/13/06 Fri You poor child. Why are we so afraid to talk to someone that we know we can trust? Please remember that you are a precious child of God and that only God can help you through this. Pray for his guidance and ask him to show you how to forgive yourself so that you can go on to a life without regret. I had an abortion 28 years ago and it has been only two full years since I have found forgiveness of myself and others in my life and this was all done through the help of God. I'm associated with Project Rachael. It is a wonderful group that helps post-abortive women find healing and forgiveness. The national number is 800-5we-care. We offer retreats and other programs. Please call them. I will pray for you. God bless you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: Pat [Edit] Date Posted: 20:52:26 10/21/06 Sat Hi, Marie, I saw your message a couple of days ago, and I have been thinking about what I want to say. The post abortion services make spiritual help available, and it is incredibly effective for a lot of women, but most of them don't push it. I can understand your concern. You might find it comforting to read the Psalms. You can do this quietly on your own, and see if it helps and you can stop any time. Also, if you have counseling one on one, most counselors will be sensitive to your needs and won't push you into religious issues. You can explore those when you are ready. I can also understand your being apprehensive about looking deeper inside yourself, and you shouldn't rush things. Your mind is protecting you by taking it slowly, and we all must respect that. I am so glad you came to reach out for help. We will be here for you. Hugs, Pat
