Finding Grace After Abortion: A Journey of Healing and Hope

I recently had the privilege of looking through our good friend Dr. Doug Weiss’s new course, "Finding Grace After Abortion." This course offers profound insights and hope for those grappling with the aftermath of abortion.

A Personal Connection

Sometimes, the hardest person to forgive is yourself. "Finding Grace After Abortion" provides a pathway to healing and hope for those grappling with the aftermath of abortion.

This issue is deeply personal for me because my mother was pressured to abort me. At the time, she was dating my dad and feared the shame and financial strain her pregnancy would bring to her family. Her friends urged her to "do away with the blob of flesh" in her womb. One day, someone drove her to the abortion clinic, convincing her it was the right choice. Reluctantly, she went inside but then slipped out the other side to avoid being seen. She bravely hid her pregnancy for seven months and fought to keep and raise me.

Understanding the intense pressure she faced helps me empathize with women who have made difficult, regretful decisions under similar circumstances.

The Silent Struggle of Christian Women

For many Christian women, abortion is a deeply personal and spiritual crisis. The pain can feel insurmountable, leading to a profound sense of isolation and unworthiness even years after the event. Fear of judgment often silences these women, leaving them to wrestle with guilt and regret alone, questioning their faith and their place within their spiritual community. They don’t just feel that they did bad, they believe they are bad.

A Beacon of Compassion and Understanding

Dr. Weiss’s course is a beacon of hope for these women. It delivers a crucial message of grace: abortion does not define who they are, nor does it disqualify them from God’s calling on their lives. With unparalleled compassion, Dr. Weiss guides women through the intricate process of healing, helping them unravel the tangled web of false beliefs and behaviors that have taken root since the abortion, offering a path to reclaim their true identity and purpose in Christ.

Embracing the Healing Journey

Healing is presented as a journey, not an instantaneous one-time experience. Dr. Weiss introduces principles for healing, delivered with empathy and wisdom. These principles are not just theoretical; they come with actionable steps that encourage deep engagement in the healing process. The activities in the workbook are designed to help women confront and release their past pains, fostering a future filled with hope and renewed purpose.

The Power of Community

Dr. Weiss knows that healing often thrives in community. He encourages women to join a Finding Grace After Abortion support group, where they can find support, understanding, and solidarity. This sense of community can be a lifeline, offering care and encouragement.

A New Perspective

One of the most inspiring parts of this course is the idea that the baby is an eternal soul. This perspective struck a chord with me, having gone through the pain of two miscarriages. It shifts the narrative from one of heartbreak and despair to one of hope and redemption.
