| Post-Abortion Help
| |
Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS) is a post-traumatic disorder that occurs when a woman is unable to process the grief, fear, guilt and anger that result from the loss of her aborted child. PAS is a valid syndrome of symptoms officially recognized by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980.
Each year there are approximately 1.3 million abortions in the United States alone. Behind this statistic are women and significant others such as boyfriends, husbands and parents who are suffering from post-abortion stress.
Are you the - mother, father, grandparents, family member, medical personnel, counselor?
You were uncertain. It was the only answer, you thought: "Abortion is legal, it must be right." Pressure seemed to come from everywhere, or nowhere. You didn't know where to turn. It seemed like the sensible thing to do. As a result:
- Do you feel a sense of loss?
- Do you have feelings of despair?
- Are you suffering from emotional, physical or spiritual problems?
- Do you experience alienation and guilt?
PROJECT RACHEL is a private, sensitive, structured, confidential experience with the assistance of counselors, priests, support group programs and/or compassionate support people. Available to you regardless of your faith, specially trained staff and volunteers will help you sort through your feelings and deal with unresolved conflict. If desired, your meeting with a priest may focus on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If you wish, you can be put in touch with a priest and/or counselor outside of your home community. Call 1-888-RACHEL5 for more information.
PACE (Post-Abortion Counseling and Education) is another ministry which brings compassion, forgiveness and healing to those who are hurting in the aftermath of abortion. Dozens of PACE groups have been formed, serving hundreds of hurting women and men. These people have found forgiveness and release from the guilt, anger and sorrow that has disabled them for so many years, enabling them to lead more productive and peaceful lives. For the nearest PACE Support Group, call Judy Ellsworth at 734-455-5255.
