After Abortion Healing for Active Military and Veterans

 


I am blessed and honored to be a team member of a healing program specifically for active military, reserve, veterans, and family members. 

Because the military is mission-centered, it is of the utmost importance that personnel be of sound mind and focused on the task at hand. When an abortion experience goes unhealed and is suppressed, the pain and grief could threaten to surface at any moment. An unhealed abortion experience could potentially place oneself and the lives of others in danger. 

Jody shared a story about a woman who, while in flight school, was dealing with an unhealed abortion experience. The woman remembers the after-abortion grief being so sudden and overwhelming that, for a moment, she considered taking the plane she was piloting down in a suicide attempt. 

Abortion recovery is of equal importance for veterans. Veterans often have a difficult time re-entering and adjusting to civilian life. Adapting to civilian life while trying to manage an unhealed abortion experience can also be dangerous. An unexpected trigger could cause an individual to go downward, directly impacting his or her family and daily life. 

Every person in the military has a mission to accomplish, which makes their need for healing my top priority. We know that people impacted by abortion deal with anger, grief, shame, and thoughts of suicide. So, we must extend and invite people for healing so they can do their jobs with focus and clarity.
