*1 now live my life with a deep joy and
gratitude. Through my healing I have learned
how to have more compassion and mercy for
others, I am careful not to judge, because I
know where I have come from and how much
I needed compassion and mercy.”
Like Theresa, thousands of women and
men are now sharing the joy, healing, and per
sonal growth they have experienced with oth
ers. They are reaching out to help those
women and men who continue to struggle
with negative feelings about past abortions.

like Theresa who can teach you how to help
your loved ones—even those who haven’t told
you about their abortions. If you will only take
the time to understand just a few basic points,
you will be far better prepared to offer them

feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, or resentment
that may be holding you back from complete
healing. They can help you find the hope and
joy that you want and deserve.

been directly or indirectly affected by abor
tion—and that includes nearly all of us. When
you read these pages with an open heart and
mind, you will learn the secrets of hope and
healing that can directly benefit you or your
loved ones.
