We are here to help.

Everyone grieves differently and there is no one "right" answer for how to cope when impacted by abortion, adoption placement, infertility, miscarriage, and stillbirth. But you don’t need to be alone in this process. No matter how long you’ve been grieving, we offer a safe, and compassionate place to explore the complex emotions of loss and provide tools and faith-based strategies, as we build a community of hope and connection. Hope Support Groups are open to all who have been impacted directly or indirectly by reproductive loss of any kind.

 

WHEN:
Every Thursday via Zoom
6:30 pm to 7:30 pm

No registration is necessary.

Rachel's Vineyard Retreats

Experiences of grief and pain are often unnamed and unspoken but both typically accompany abortion, adoption placement, infertility, miscarriage, and stillbirth. Although these experiences are different in some ways, often there are similar struggles. Women, men, and couples - anyone affected by reproductive loss - are encouraged to attend the Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat. Nearly 1 in 4 women and men have been affected by an abortion, 1 and 6 are affected by infertility, 1 in 5 are affected by miscarriage and 1 in 160 are affected by stillbirth.

 

Since there is carefully guarded secrecy around reproductive loss, these hidden, painful, emotions may cause other struggles such as depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, bonding issues with children, suicidal thoughts, and feelings of unworthiness. If the quality of your life is affected or you have never completely recovered from reproductive loss, Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat is a place where you can find support, compassion, and healing.

 

This international ministry is a confidential, safe place to share your story and discover God’s heart of compassion and mercy. The retreat is a non-denominational, interfaith environment offering Biblical principles and perspectives for restoration. This retreat is being held at a local retreat center. The financial value of the retreat is $600. However, retreatants are charged only $300 which includes single occupancy accommodations for two nights, all meals, and retreat supplies. Scholarships are available. Contact us at [email protected] for more information. This is a valuable place to be kind to yourself and explore spiritual renewal! Sources:

Online Healing Pathways

It is common for some who have gone through an abortion to experience thoughts and emotions that are difficult to process. These uneasy feelings can come on immediately or suddenly hit you weeks or even years after the procedure.

 

Has your mind, body, or soul been impacted? RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics is working with an online after-abortion wellness program called abortionchangesyou.com. It is a confidential space that serves as a refuge for those who wish to begin the process of healing. This process includes building support, exploring emotions, and identifying loss. This pathway is a starting point for reflection and healing regarding the personal impact of abortion. Each person will go through the process differently. We encourage you to explore the site.

If you find yourself overwhelmed or in need of local support please feel free to call us at 408.444.5472 or schedule an appointment with our caring team who have experienced similar feelings.
