Have you personally experienced abortion or had your child aborted? It is a difficult issue to deal with. Your feelings associated with the abortion(s) deserve attention. Our hope is to connect you with the resources that can help you understand your feelings and behavior related to your experience.

All the resources we recommend have two things in common; one, they will have a powerful positive impact on your life and second, all the people involved care deeply about you, many share your experience and have dedicated their lives to helping you.

 If the trauma of your abortion is causing suicidal thoughts please contact www.suicidehotlines.com or call 1-800-784-2433. You're not alone in your pain and we want to help you. As the co-founders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, our desire is to see you make peace with yourself, your child(ren), God and others. Our prayer is that the aftercare program you go through will help you know just how much God loves you.

Blessings from, Georgette & Janet

    If you or someone you care about has experienced the pain of unresolved grief after abortion, you know how hard it can be to find help.  Magazines and talk shows offer advice on nearly every topic, yet it’s rare to see a headline for post-abortion recovery.  The Four Steps to Healing sheds new light on an issue that has touched the lives of many but is talked about by few.  The myth of abortion as a “selfish” choice is dispelled here by illustrations of women who chose abortion out of concern for everyone’s need but their own.  Many who suffer from post-abortion grief are, in fact, caring nurturers, helpers by nature who take spiritual matters seriously.  To address the specific needs of those who ling to reconnect and go further in their faith, The Four Steps to Healing is available in both Catholic and non-denominational versions.  Filled with practical suggestions, prayers and stories of hope, it is a resource for those who want to be healed and for those who want help.

  • The Intrusion
    By Kris Detrow
    ISBN# is 978-1-936076-30-7
    When dark secrets from the past collide with the present, Jake and Arin Welsh’s lives are thrown into a tailspin. Suddenly, their only son’s life hangs in the balance. Will they reconcile their pasts in time to save their family? Arin Welsh grew up in the foster care system. She and her husband Jake spent years entangled in a cult before breaking free. When they decided to start a family, they were thwarted by infertility. Finally, Arin has found stability. Through in vitro fertilization, she gave birth to Troy. Her warm marriage, professional fulfillment as a sign language interpreter, and the affection and support of an unlikely friend provide the backdrop for a tranquil life.
    Then one chilling day, four-year-old Troy is maliciously altered by forces that Arin and Jake are unable to comprehend. Can Arin contend with the mayhem surrounding her? Or will she dare to consider a source of protection and redemption greater than herself?
    Note from Georgette: This book was hard to put down – it is great story telling while at the same time clearly educating the reader about the real pain of abortion and the love of God!

  • Mommy Let Me Live
    by Lakisha Chapman, Silent No More Awareness Campaign Regional Coordinator
    ISBN-13: 978-1448971558
    Order at Amazon
    This book gives profound information about abortion. I not only share my personal testimony but I have included testimonies of other women and their experience relating to abortion. It provides a background of the history of abortion, which has been going on for centuries, so there is really nothing new under the sun. It discusses the process of elimination by giving detailed information surrounding the types and techniques used and how women can develop PAS (Post Abortion Syndrome) after they’ve experienced abortion and much, much more. At some point this book may make you angry, cry and even laugh.

    God had planted something deep down in my heart and I had to bring it to the light. I knew this was a special assignment from God. My mission in writing this book is to encourage women, men & teenagers all over the world to let their baby live and give them a chance at life, like your mother gave you.. God created us because He wants us here. Every single person has a purpose. God don’t make accidents, he makes plans. Before a child is even thought of by the parents, God knows him and the plans God has for that child. There are alternatives to abortion which are listed inside of this book, which provide help so you can choose life. Please educate yourself and become aware because knowledge is power. My goal is to change a negative thought into a positive mind-set. My objective is to plant a message deep within your heart that will drive you to set, reposition yourself & your thinking from the inside out.

    This book was not written to bash or judge anyone who may be now or in the future in a difficult situation and feel abortion is the only way out. For it has been written to encourage you to let your baby live, save our babies, save you and discourage all who may be involved from making a decision today that will change your life and you will regret tomorrow, to inspire women & teenagers to awaken the greatness that is on the inside of them that will lead to an abundant life, not only for them but for their children as well, to educate, empower, bring healing to those who need it, to testify about the God I serve and what He not only can do but what He did do!

    Published by: Pleasant Word (a division of Wine Press Publishing, PO Box 428, Enumclaw, WA 98022)
    Georgette Forney wrote the forward for the book, Into The Light. This is what she had to say about it: Into The Light is an incredibly courageous book. Nicole’s willingness to honestly discuss rape, abortion, pornography addiction and many other painful experiences is a testimony of God’s strength working in broken people. Every person who reads this book can connect with some part of her story and learn as Nicole did more about God’s healing grace. I strongly recommend this book for everyone; it teaches us to have more compassion for one another and encourages us to face our traumas.

  • No More A Secret CD
    Each of the 7 short, passionate and powerful poems on this CD was birthed from the soul of a woman who existed for years after her abortion with secret agony, shame, anger, torment, and guilt. Her search for peace led to pages of the Holy Scriptures. There, she discovered promises, offering forgiveness from her past, and hope for her future. The accompanying music is unique, as composer Nathan S. Elliott discerned emotions from Merle’s heart … once wounded … once broken … now beating with freedom, strength, and wholeness.  A liberating and healing combination of words and music for those who hurt after abortion!
