Hope and Healing after Abortion (Project Rachel)
Chances are that if you are visiting this page, you have had an abortion or know someone who has.
Abortion is a life-changing event that affects individuals emotionally, spiritually and physically. You may have experienced the need to seek healing right after your abortion, or it may have taken many years for you to come to this place.
The truth is that you are suffering from a traumatic loss—and that loss is real.
With abortion, society doesn’t provide a public way to grieve this loss. With no way to process this loss, the wound caused by abortion often remains unhealed and becomes a secret sorrow carried alone…and without support.
You may be suffering from guilt, sadness, isolation, nightmares, addictions, eating disorders, anxiety and other negative emotions and behaviors. Many women and men are surprised at the emotions they experience after abortion which can include, but certainly are not limited to those mentioned above.
It is most important for you to know that you are not alone. We want to reach out to you with the mercy and love of Christ and help you be at peace with yourself and God. While abortion is part of your history, it doesn’t need to define your future.
There is hope. There is help. If you or someone you know is suffering after abortion, please contact Project Rachel through the Diocese of Belleville in Illinois at 618-722-5068. If you reach the voicemail, please leave a message and we will call you back when it is a good time for you.
Please call our helpline for more information and to talk to someone who is sensitive to what you are going through. Hope is here and peace starts now.
