Описание: "Nattys Pond" is a true first-person account of the abortion of a wanted pregnancy within the context of marriage. This story details the experience of a second trimester surgical abortion that was deemed "medically advisable" due to poor fetal prognosis. The author shares a tragic story of a medical whirlwind that left no option other than what doctors called "the compassionate choice" to terminate the life of her unborn son. The consequences that followed this horrific decision were unexpected, grave, and altered the course of the authors life and health for the next twenty years. This book is not a message of condemnation. This memoir argues that abortion is life altering and can result in secrecy, silence, shame, and a myriad of symptoms which protract grief and contribute to isolation. These painful consequences can be magnified within the faith community, leaving many mothers and parents of the unborn trying to deal with unanticipated physical symptoms, the emotional and behavioral entanglements of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, as well as very real spiritual roadblocks. Healing is possible when courage meets honesty, forging connection with others, opening the heart to repentance, and to the unmerited grace of the cross. With the unconditional love of an Almighty God abortion survivors can be forgiven, and ultimately CAN forgive themselves. Through the mercy of Christ, twenty years later the author finds herself profoundly changed on the topic of abortion. This story was shared with hopes to help others lead with love and greater compassion toward the countless mothers who lost a child and survived it.

Описание: Wounded Hearts: My Roller-Coaster Journey into Third-World Health Care traces Patience Akinosho's journey through Nigeria's broken health care system after her annual trip to visit family was interrupted by the illness of her younger sister, Sally. The unexpected loss of this laughter-filled young woman with a disability, who died a senseless death at the hands of a poorly trained surgeon, inspired this narrative, which only hints at the inadequacy of a system designed to treat the nation's estimated 206 million people. This harrowing story gives a new generation of Nigerians and their leaders a glimpse of the problems they are faced with, so they can be inspired to affect change. From the birth of Patience's sister, God's grace upon her life, an unexpected pregnancy, and the miraculous birth of her only child; readers get a firsthand look into sisterly love and the pain of losing a loved one. The competing needs of doctors to either survive or care for their patients often leaves the citizens at a disadvantage, victims of a system that prioritizes greed-- not health.

Practical and thoughtful ideas to assist the surviving spouse to maneuver and rebuild after a heartbreaking loss are discussed. Preparing to part gives the entire family a better chance to navigate their potentially rocky future by providing ways to manage grief and forge a new path.
