How does one find healing from a past abortion? For the many women and men who feel alone with their unspoken pain, you are not alone. There are others who understand your feelings; many who have stories just like your own and are willing to walk with you as you come to find the peace you long for. Support is available and crucial in the healing process.

Many crisis pregnancy centers located throughout the country have post-abortion support groups or one-on-one counseling available. To find the center nearest you, please check "Abortion Alternatives" in the yellow pages or on the internet at http://www.care-net.org.

Sacred Heart of Mary Church has Stephen Ministers who are trained lay ministers to provide one-on-one Christian care to individuals struggling with a crisis in their lives. These Stephen Ministers are also trained to work with women and men who seek healing from abortions. For more information please call 303-499-8989 x253. All calls are confidential.

The Memorial Wall for the Unborn adds another piece to the healing process as women and men name their children and place a plaque of remembrance in their memory. Much healing can be attained by remembering them in a visible and tangible way. The Sacred Heart of Mary Memorial Wall is affiliated with the National Memorial for the Unborn located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The national office will provide brass plaques with "words of remembrance" dedicated to a baby for a reasonable fee. With each order remembering an aborted baby, three identical plaques are made; one for the Sacred Heart of Mary Memorial Wall, one for the National Memorial Wall, and a third for the purchaser to keep as a momento. Just two plaques are made for a miscarriage or stillbirth order since the National Memorial is for aborted babies only. Plaques for the Memorial Wall may be ordered by printing and mailing in the order form available on this website. All of the orders are highly confidential and can be made anonymously.
