On my way to the first group session, I told my friend I didn’t know if I was ready. Once inside I met a wonderful lady, who hung in while I cried, and told me she knew what I was going through. Sure I thought. How could you know?? She proceeded to tell me of her sweet baby Ashley Victoria and how sad she had been and how much Project Rachel had helped her heal.
All the sessions had their own valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, all of the ifs, ands, and whys of what happened. They dug deep into our spirits and allowed us to be.
As the weeks went on I felt a closeness with these women and with God. I was thanking God left and right. I am so pleased about Mathew’s Godmother – she is a great inspiration and I feel the love she has to offer.
I feel more confident now. I feel full of GOD’S love and forgiveness. This experience compares to nothing else that could ever help you to move on after the hurt and guilt of an abortion. Being Catholic-based and having a priest involved makes such a difference. Thank you God for hand-picking the facilitators to help us all.
