Interview with Lizzie Oakes

“I really feel that God is always with us; the question is, are we are aware of him being with us?”

Post Abortion Grief and Trauma Recovery with Dave Wernli

Trigger warning: In today’s podcast/video we discuss the sensitive topic of post abortive grief and trauma recovery.

In today’s podcast we discuss the sensitive, important topic of post abortive grief and trauma recovery. This is not a political discussion, nor an ethical discussion.

We are talking about the grief that having an abortion can produce, on both women and men, and how to recover. In some ways, it’s the hidden trauma, because in the church, there can be shame around it so it’s not talked about.
