Every year I go to where the office was.(It is now a Dog Groomer.) I sit in the parking lot for a bit and pray for the soul that earth lost and heaven gained.

Mine was 17 yrs ago....I literally had to keep it deep down as a secret for all this time. When I met my husband 11 yrs ago, I had kept it a secret per my mom. It wasn't until a few yrs after we were married that I was convicted at church one weekend, and felt the Holy Spirit tugging at my heart to tell him. Sure enough later on that evening, I literally broke down in tears, telling him I had a bad secret. He told me when I felt it was time, he would be there....the minute I told him, he literally held me and told me that we would get through it. I've NEVER felt SO much support in my life. Then it wasn't until about 3 yrs ago, in fact around this time that I felt the Lord leading me to go to Rachel's Vineyard.....boy did God heal me that weekend!! Yes, I still think about it a lot, but, I am now trying to get involved in different ways to help other women; talk, support systems, etc......I am ALWAYS here to talk!!!! Karin  |

I'm just trying to figure out from the US, where is NZ located? That is too bad that NZ doesn't have many supportive abortion sites....do you just end up "googling" abortion to help find some? How did you come across SafeHaven? 40 Days for Life is a campaign that is taking place now in the Spring and Fall.....it is in the US, but, has really "spread across the sea" so to speak. It is where men, women, children, really anybody who feels led to during the 40 days, will go to a Planned Parenthood where abortions are done at. During these 40 days everbody goes onto the properties to pray for the girls who show up, hoping that the Holy Spirit will direct them out, and that they will decide to keep the unborn. It is THE most amazing thing....for this one that started about a week ago, already over 50 babies have been saved! Have you heard of Rachel's Vineyard?  |

Well New Zealand is located between the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, Australias our neighbour. Yeah abortion is an unspoken subject around most areas here. I did just google abortion and luckily stubbled across this site! Its great. Wow 40 days for life sounds really persuasive. Yes I have heard of Rachels Vineyard..Pity there is not one located in NZ (at least I dont think there is) but I know theres one in Australia. |

My gosh, amazing how we are able to coorespond clear across the world like this!! I was wondering though, it hasn't been that long since you've gone through your abortion....have you found any therapy to seek out to go through any healing? I don't know what I'd do without my 1 on 1 counselor. My husband & I have gone to couples counseling....we are on a break at the moment. I think it is VERY important to do that. If not, I'm happy to help in anyway I can.... |

No it hasnt been long..it was at the start of this year. I havnt had any therapy before or even after it. I find I am coping on my own as I am an independent person and find my own ways to cope, so im doing okay  Coming on here helps lots too. Me and my partner are still together and even thought we did have a few rough patches I feel in a way it made us stronger. I do hope to have kids with him one day as I think he'd make a great dad but unfortunately this time was just bad timing.. I appreciate you talking to me, its nice to speak to a person thats had the same experience as you! |

| I do want to give you some words of advice that I had to quickly learn on my own many years after I had my abotion.....don't just think that you are fine right now, that you are strong, etc....I did feel that way for awhile, BUT, up until about 5 yrs ago, I was married for about 5 yrs already, and all of a sudden things hit me HARD!! I knew I really hadn't seeked the proper counseling, even though I'm a strong person myself.....plus, for the 16 yrs that I had to hold it all in, not tell my own father, etc.....I knew I had to get the help. I have come a long way, and where I'm at now is I'm seeking out to find girls/women who are in need of help, and want to just talk. But, I am here if you ever want to talk..... |

Well, like I said before, I'm here to talk if you are feeling.....whatever! Since I've been there, I know what it feels like, just ask whatever, and I will answer....I should've gone into study psychology, I love helping out others, and just being there for them.
By the way, if you don't mind me asking....how old are you? |

Oh my gosh, you are a "youngster" as my dad would say ~ boy, I hate to admit my age then, although, if you saw me, you'd think I was still in my early 20's...I'm 41 - YIKES!! But, I just look at all ages now as pure numbers! 
Listen, I was wondering, would you be interested in me sending you a link that has a lot of resources for abortions? I don't send them out unless I get your permission. I don't know if it would help out in Australia, but, it was just a thought! So, let me know, and I'll go from there..... |

Yeap I am a youngster but this youngster is already a house wifey too!
I also like the saying age aint nothing but a number.
Yes that could be useful?
Thankyou |
