What is Renew?
Renew is a program for individuals who are hurting from a past sexual health experience or decision. One of those decisions may have been an abortion in your past or in the life of someone you love. Post-Abortion Syndrome is the emotional pain that one may experience after an abortion.
Dr. Vincent Rue, Ph.D., Institute for Pregnancy Loss Jacksonville, FL lists the following as symptoms of Post Abortion Syndrome*
- Exposure to or participation in an abortion experience
- Uncontrolled negative re-experiencing of the abortion death experience
- Unsuccessful attempts to avoid or deny abortion recollections and emotional pain
- Experiencing associated symptoms not present before the abortion
Some symptoms of Post Abortion Syndrome are guilt, anxiety, depression, or anniversary syndrome**. You may experience all of these, none of these, or some that are not even listed. The important thing to remember is there is hope for healing and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
There are other experiences in our past that can lead to emotional trauma, such as abuse or promiscuity. The important thing to remember is there is hope and healing through Jesus Christ. Renew is here to help.
