For more than thirty years, our nation has argued about abortion. In that time, over twenty-five million women have had one or more abortions.

These conflicts reflect the ambivalence and psychological discord which also occur within individuals. Even women who chose abortion for the most compelling reasons often face a daily internal battle between defending and condemning themselves.

While the political battle rages, little has been done to address the emotional needs of those who struggle with feelings of grief, shame, guilt, feeling judged by others--and more. Instead, social taboos have been erected that stifle discussion of abortion-related feelings. Women are left feeling isolated and their recovery is inhibited.

In Forbidden Grief, Dr. Burke explores the cultural and psychological obstacles to post-abortion healing. She examines why friends and families erect walls of silence around a loved one's grief and reveals how we can and should listen to those who are struggling with past abortions.

For every abortion a man is involved. Considerable attention is given to the post-abortive woman, but what about the man? Just like the woman, the man can experience guilt, regret, and emotional trauma from his involvement with an abortion. However, the man is often ignored or forgotten and left to deal with the fallout of guilt and regret he might carry into all aspects of his life.

Healing the Father contrasts the woman's experience from that of a man and goes on to offer the abortion-wounded man peace and comfort available through the miracle for forgiveness. He does not have to carry the guilt and regret from his experience.

Actual life stories are presented of individual experiences, including the author's own experience. Through principals, stories shared, and suggested actions going forward, abortion-wounded men can discover emotional freedom through the power of forgiveness.
