“Suddenly my whole life was beginning to make sense. Every desire, and sadness. I had actually felt his loss in my heart throughout the course of my life.” Michael
The magnitude of the impact of abortion on siblings, both those alive at the time of the abortion and those after, is just beginning to be manifest.
No matter where I speak, it never fails that someone will come up to me to tell me of their mother’s abortion.
Some of these siblings were told by their parents, some overheard conversations and some just always knew down in their hearts that
someone was missing.
To think that abortion would not impact the siblings of the unborn is as unrealistic as thinking it would not impact those who have had one. A sibling is gone and often with that comes a wide range of emotions, from guilt, to sorrow, to anger and to concern for a parent who may be struggling with post abortion issues. The need to protect out of love can also lead to suppressed anger which ultimately affects their lives.
We at Lumina are excited to host with Fr. Mariusz Koch, CFR, retreats for siblings. People from all over the country have attended what they describe as a safe haven, where they can express the dynamics they have experienced by being the sibling of an aborted baby.
Please help spread the news as we reach out to the brothers and sisters of the unborn lost to abortion.
