Healing After Abortion - Completely Confidential Sisters of Life: 866-575-0075

[email protected]

The Sisters of Life walk in solidarity with those suffering after abortion on the journey of healing. The sisters are available to meet with women individually or over the phone. They also host monthly Days of Prayer and Healing, monthly Gatherings and Weekend Retreats. Below are frequently asked questions about the Day of Prayer and Healing.

What if I never told anyone about my abortion? The Day of Prayer and Healing is completely confidential. We do not discuss the day outside of the gathering. We ask all who participate to honor this confidentiality. It is a very safe and healing environment. What if I don’t feel like sharing or talking with anyone? That is fine. There is no pressure to speak. There is much to be gained by being part of a group and listening to others.
