The New Year is always a good time to look back and evaluate where we’ve been - and think about where we’d like to go. Sometimes, though, our past choices have a way of holding on, no matter how hard we try to move on, and “get on” with our lives. Perhaps a bad relationship still has us in its grip - maybe the person is gone, but the emotional damage done replays in our minds, making it difficult to feel “safe” with someone new - someone better. Or - that relationship pushed us into something we deeply regret - maybe an abortion - and we haven’t quite figured out how to let ourselves off the hook for what we’ve done. We can try to forget - for years - but that regret can poison everything good that comes along - and we yearn for a fresh start - a new beginning. While the past can’t be undone - some things just can’t be changed, we can learn new ways of looking at it - and learn how to forgive ourselves and others. And - we can choose to embrace the new life we’re offered - if we’re brave enough to stop pretending - and start the healing process.
“There are some things that are just so painful that we try to bury it beyond memory. I’ve learned from my own experience that no matter how deep I buried my pain, it always found a way out, and I was in a constant state of anxiety and fear. When I finally stopped - faced the pain (and its cause) - I was able to move beyond it and into freedom,” said Sharon Pearce, the Executive Director of Silent Voices. She and the staff are passionate about helping other women find that same freedom in a safe, nurturing environment. We have over thirty years of experience helping women after an abortion - we can be trusted to help you sort out what’s going on - help you face your pain - and walk with you as you rediscover a truly wonderful person - the real you. We can be reached by phone (619-422-0757) or by email (svoices@pacbell.net).
