April is Abortion Recovery Awareness Month.

A time to acknowledge the stories that often go unspoken… and the healing that is possible on the other side.

There are a lot of reasons we choose abortion.
And if we’re honest… most of them don’t feel simple.

Sometimes it’s fear.
Not the right timing. Too young. Too overwhelmed.

Sometimes it’s pressure.
From a boyfriend. A husband. A family. A situation that feels
impossible to survive.

Sometimes it’s trauma.
R**e. Abuse. Trafficking. Addiction.

Sometimes it’s survival mode.
“I can’t do this.”
“This will ruin everything.”
“No one can know.”

Sometimes it’s complicated.
An affair. A future that feels like it’s slipping away.
Or even just trying to maintain control when everything else feels out of control.

And sometimes… it’s something we don’t even know how to explain. Just a decision made in a moment where we felt completely alone.

But what we don’t talk about enough is what comes after.

The mental weight.
The questions that don’t go away.
The grief that shows up years later in unexpected ways.

The way it can affect relationships… trust… identity.
The way it can shape how we see ourselves.

And even deeper—
the spiritual impact.
The quiet distance. The shame. The feeling of being “too far gone.”

If this is part of your story… you are not the only one.
And you are not beyond healing.

Healing doesn’t come from pretending it didn’t happen.
It comes from facing it—with honesty, with support, and with care.

At Wild Heart Ministries, we walk with women through that process. In small, intimate, trauma-informed groups where you are seen, heard, and not judged.

You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

If you’re ready… or even just curious… we’re here.

If you’ve had an abortion and still carry it…
the weight, the silence, the “I should be over this by now” — you’re not alone.

We meet women every day who look fine on the outside but are quietly carrying grief, shame, or questions they’ve never said out loud.

Our retreats are not surface-level.

They’re small, private, and real — a place to bring what you’ve been holding into the light and begin to heal.

📍 Dillon, MT — May 14–17
📍 Troy, MT — June 11–14 (only 3 spots left)

These are free, 4-day retreats for women who are ready to face their story and find freedom.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

Watching Jessie Buckley speak about the "beautiful chaos of motherhood" was deeply moving. She honored her husband and the gift of motherhood with such honesty and grace — not pretending it’s easy, but showing that it’s meaningful.

And it made me think…

So many women are told a very different story.

We’re told that motherhood will ruin our plans.
That we’re not capable.
That a child will be a burden.
That we won’t be able to handle it.

Those lies are powerful. And for some of us, they’ve led to decisions we can never undo.

But the truth is — motherhood is not the end of your life… it’s the beginning of a deeper one. Yes, it’s messy. Yes, it stretches you. But it is also filled with purpose, growth, and a kind of love that changes you forever.

You are more capable than you’ve been led to believe.
Your life is not over — it’s expanding.
And a child is never a burden… they are a life with value, purpose, and worth.

If you’ve believed those lies before, you’re not alone.
And if you’re in that place right now, I hope you hear this:

You are stronger than you think.
You are not alone.
And there is beauty — even in the chaos. ❤️

If part of your story includes abortion and you’re carrying pain, there is hope and healing available. Our next Wild Heart retreat is happening in June 2026 — a safe, faith-centered space for women to process, heal, and step into freedom. You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Jessie Buckley dedicated her history-making best actress Oscar win to the “beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart”.The 36-year-old became the first Irish actres...

In just 4 months, we will gather again for our next healing retreat — and we have 4 spots remaining.

This sacred weekend is completely free and held at a beautiful mountain lodge here in Montana. It is a quiet, safe space set apart for women who have experienced abortion and are still carrying the weight of that loss.

If you struggle with grief, shame, anger, guilt, or regret, you are not alone. There is hope. There is healing. Freedom can be found.

It doesn't matter if you had your abortion 40 years ago or 6 months ago. We will meet you where you're at.

If this speaks to your heart — or to someone you love — we would be honored to walk alongside you. 💛

Message us for more information or to reserve one of the remaining spots.

Forgiven and Set Free is a Bible-based abortion recovery and healing program from Care Net. Learn more at abortionhealing.org.

Thirteen years ago today, I had an abortion. It was my fourth and final abortion.

When I look back at the woman I was then, I barely recognize her. I didn’t value life—my own or that of my unborn child. I didn’t value my body, my mind, or my soul. I was trapped in an unhealthy relationship that would last 13 years, and though I didn’t know it at the time, 2013 would be our final year together.

What’s strange is how little I remember about that day. I don’t remember the clinic visit, what time I took the pills, whether I was in physical pain afterward, what I ate for dinner, or even where my 15-year-old daughter was while I was going through the process of ending yet another one of her siblings’ lives. What a reckless and selfish person I was at that time.

Today, I sit at my kitchen table and try to make sense of it all. I think about the fact that I would have a 13-year-old at home with me today if I had been brave and selfless enough to choose life all those years ago. What I see clearly now is this: the enemy had a firm grip on my life at that time. I was living deep in sin, continually rejecting God through my thoughts, words, and actions. Scripture tells us that God gives us over to a reprobate mind—and I know now that’s exactly where I was.

And yet… God did not leave me there.

Jesus relentlessly pursued my heart, and I finally surrendered to Him in 2018. I began a personal relationship with Him, and from there, there was no looking back. God showed me that no story is too big to be redeemed and no person is beyond the reach of grace.

This anniversary is heavy, but it’s also a reminder of His mercy, His patience, and His power to redeem even the darkest chapters of our stories. Healing is possible. Freedom is real.

I have come to believe that your ministry is found where you’ve been broken, and your testimony is found where you’ve been healed. I know that my children in heaven would be proud of the woman I am today. God now uses my story—a story full of sin, brokenness, guilt, and shame—to help heal the pain of others who have walked the same road I once did.

If this is part of your story too, please know you are not alone. If you are carrying shame, grief, or regret from an abortion decision, there is hope and there is help. Through Wild Heart Ministries, we offer free, confidential healing resources and retreats for women walking this same road. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore. 💔➡️❤️

I really appreciated this quick read on gentle, supportive practices for post-abortion healing. It offers simple, compassionate self-care ideas you can explore at your own pace—one small step at a time.

#8, “Give your story a container,” resonated with me the most. Even all these years later, I still struggle to piece parts of my story together. It often feels fragmented, with gaps in my memory—but that’s the nature of trauma. It scatters thoughts and memories, making coherence feel just out of reach.

I often pray for God to reveal more of more story to me so that I can make sense of it all. It can be hard to trust in His timing.

If you read this, and you're post-abortive and comfortable sharing, tell us what practice spoke to you and why.
