Respect Life Month: Hope & Healing After Pregnancy Loss and Abortion | Rachel Ministries

Erik Archer introduces an episode first aired last October during Respect Life Month, highlighting Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day and the often-hidden grief from miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or past abortion. Clint Berge interviews Amy Mulhern and Jennifer Fisk of Rachel Ministries in the Diocese of La Crosse, explaining Project Rachel’s confidential spiritual and emotional support, referrals to counselors and priests, and the Catholic-based Rachel’s Vineyard retreat focused on God’s mercy and trauma-sensitive healing for women, men, and families. They reflect on the Mass of Hope and Healing, where participants honored lost children with candles and a book of remembrance, emphasizing ongoing healing, accompaniment without judgment, and the Church’s call to support all affected.
