Book Excerpt
CPR is your “first aid kit” that will help bring resolution and closure to your choice decision. This book brings a therapeutic model to the privacy of your home. Step by step you will follow through the grieving process that many times accompanies a voluntary pregnancy termination. This is a common sense plan that reaches all cultures, all faiths.
Why should you trust me? Because I’ve been there! I, like you, once needed a safe place to grieve, but found none. There was no one to talk to, no one who understood. I went to a professional therapist and to a pastor. They both validated my choice (NOT what I was needing) but neither recognized my grief. I went to a second pastor who made me feel evil and brought even more shame upon me. I had no where to go to talk about the grief incurred because of my choice decision.
