PATH : Post Abortion Treatment & Healing : Atlanta, GA : Counseling for Post Abortion Syndrome
Description
"PATH" stands for Post Abortion Treatment and Healing. It is a ministry with a dual purpose. The first purpose is to walk individuals through the grieving process, which is often thwarted following an abortion. An individual may simply not allow oneself to feel sorrow and loss, because of feelings of guilt regarding the decision to abort. The
post-abortion group serves as a safe place for one to honestly address his or her feelings and explore, with others, how she or he came to make this decision and why it is so painful today. Layers of denial, anger and confusion are unraveled, giving way to acceptance and forgiveness.
The second purpose of the post-abortion group is to help individuals become reconciled with God. Many women and men are extremely fearful that they can never be forgiven; that this is the one unforgivable sin. As a result, they stop attending church, stop participating in many church-like activities, and stop praying. The post-abortion group facilitator strives to represent the loving forgiveness and presence of Christ, and to lead these individuals back to him.
