Choice, Death, and the Aftermath
Fearfully and desperately wanting to hide my mistakes and deny
the unwanted, but not totally unexpected ramifications of my
earlier choices, I chose what seemed to be the easiest answer. I
chose death, and then I moved into the aftermath of my choice. I,
for a lifetime and beyond, will live in the aftermath of my choice.
Although there is recovery, through forgiveness, there are lasting
ramifications. No one told me that the ramifications of my choice
would last forever. No one told me what my choice would do to my
heart. No one told me that my choice was, in fact, a death sentence
for my baby.
Are you, or someone you know, facing an unwanted pregnancy? Are
you wondering if "choice" is the answer, the easiest solution?
After the "choice" comes the aftermath. A living choice not only
gives life to a baby, but results in an aftermath of life. Abortion
results in an aftermath forever shrouded in death, death of a baby,
perhaps death of your own baby. For those struggling with the
aftermath of abortion, you and your loved ones can find
forgiveness.
This book is for:
Teenage moms wrestling with choice and an unplanned
pregnancy
Loved ones who are seeking resolution after abortion
Anyone who needs hope and healing after abortion
This book is a great tool for teen pregnancy educators,
pregnancy center advisors, and those seeking to learn more about
the emotional struggles, post abortion. It is written out of love
and understanding by a woman who thought her choice was the best
answer. Whether or not you are a Christian, you will be inspired by
the author's incredible faith, without which it would have been
impossible to write this book.
Through my story, I pray that you will know that a living choice
is the only real choice.
Join me in my story of running from my mistakes, hiding my
choice, and slogging through the aftermath. Come with me as I
discover a new truth about an old choice. Join me as I struggle
with guilt and heartfelt shame, knowing the new truth. Observe the
aftermath.
What choice would you have made? What choice would you
recommend?
