Resources for Help After Abortion http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/

As people who have personal experience with abortion, we know this can be a difficult issue to deal with. We applaud your courage for recognizing that your feelings associated with an abortion(s) deserve attention and need to be addressed. Our goal here is to connect you with the people and programs that can help you unravel and understand your feelings and behavior related to your experience.

If the trauma of your abortion is causing you such pain that suicidal thoughts and ideas are on your mind please contact www.suicidehotlines.com or call 1-800-784-2433. You're not alone in your pain and we want to help you.

We have gone through some of the programs listed below, others have been recommended to us by folks like you. The two elements all the programs have in common is that; one, they will empower and impact your life in many great ways – in a sense if you work the programs earnestly, they can help you be set free from the negative feelings and behavior you feel from your abortion. Second, all the people involved care deeply about you, most often they are women and men who have taken time out of their lives to go through training to be properly prepared to help you and do their ministry as volunteers.

Before you begin visiting the websites below, we recommend that you read the outstanding information written by Leslie Graves. It will provide a great overview to help you understand all your options.

As the co-founders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, our desire is to see you make peace with yourself, your child(ren), God and others. Our prayer is that the aftercare program you go through will help you know just how much God loves you and wants the best for you and your loved ones.

Blessings from, Georgette & Janet

Georgette Forney wrote the forward for the book, Into The Light. This is what she had to say about it: Into The Light is an incredibly courageous book. Nicole’s willingness to honestly discuss rape, abortion, pornography addiction and many other painful experiences is a testimony of God’s strength working in broken people. Every person who reads this book can connect with some part of her story and learn as Nicole did more about God’s healing grace. I strongly recommend this book for everyone; it teaches us to have more compassion for one another and encourages us to face our traumas.

If you or someone you care about has experienced the pain of unresolved grief after abortion, you know how hard it can be to find help. Magazines and talk shows offer advice on nearly every topic, yet it’s rare to see a headline for post-abortion recovery. The Four Steps to Healing sheds new light on an issue that has touched the lives of many but is talked about by few. The myth of abortion as a “selfish” choice is dispelled here by illustrations of women who chose abortion out of concern for everyone’s need but their own. Many who suffer from post-abortion grief are, in fact, caring nurturers, helpers by nature who take spiritual matters seriously. To address the specific needs of those who ling to reconnect and go further in their faith, The Four Steps to Healing is available in both Catholic and non-denominational versions. Filled with practical suggestions, prayers and stories of hope, it is a resource for those who want to be healed and for those who want help.
