In this eighth video, “Maternity is Forever: Hope and Healing After Abortion,” participants are invited to understand the reality of what happens in a woman’s heart after the experience of abortion, and how to approach and gently journey with a woman who has suffered this experience. Although the video clearly focuses on accompanying women, men can also often suffer deeply after the experience of abortion. Abortion often brings a sense of loss, and deep emotional, spiritual, psychological, and relational pain. Someone who has experienced abortion needs to be met with mercy, kindness, and solidarity, and given the space to grieve. She often needs to be invited to encounter Jesus, who seeks her with his infinite love and mercy, eager to forgive, heal, and restore.
