Post Abortion Healing and Reconciliation
 
Project Rachel
Project Rachel is a confidential healing ministry for the many people, both men and women, who have been touched by an abortion experience. The purpose of Project Rachel is post-abortion reconciliation and healing for the other victims of abortion. The woman who has had an abortion, the person who at one time, provided the abortion, the man who may have forced a daughter, spouse or girlfriend to have an abortion, the potential grandparents, brothers and sisters and all who have been denied the opportunity of a relationship. All of these people need the help, support and compassion of Christ through the Church to deal with the grief, anger and sense of responsibility for a great loss.
 
Common symptoms of post-abortion stress are:
  • sense of loss
  • a feeling of guilt
  • loneliness/alienation
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • sleep disturbances
  • separation from God, self, and family

Rachel mourns her children, she refuses to be consoled because her children are no more. Thus says the Lord: Cease your cries of mourning. Wipe the tears from your eyes. The sorrow you have shown shall have its reward. There is hope for your future".
