Redeeming Grief: Abortion and Its Pain
Anne R. Lastman
Foreword by Archbishop Barry Hickey
Redeeming Grief
is a reflection of over 17 years of counselling and study of abortion grief, which is
experienced by some women who choose to undergo this elective procedure. These reflections are the
result of listening to over 1,500 personal stories and listening to the expressions used by women as they
speak about their decision to abort the life of their child. These reflections then attempt to reconstruct the
meaning that this procedure has had for the aborting woman and how this one procedure has been the catalyst for life
changes.
Redeeming Grief
looks at abortion trauma and grief from the spiritual and the psychological perspective, and its
influences on the individuals involved and society. It is hoped that the language used is reader friendly and the concepts
(
both spiritual and psychological) are also reader friendly.
