Happy Father’s Day?

Tough time for some men.  When you’ve lost a child to abortion, you sometimes don’t know what to do about Father’s Day.  It never feels right.

Am I a father?  If I’m not, why do I feel the loss?  What did I lose?

And if I am, how can I celebrate the killing of my child?

Let me assure you.  You are a father.  You will always be a father.  Abortion can kill your child, but not who you are to that child.

But that doesn’t tell you how you should feel about Father’s Day.  To deal with that, you must come to terms with your role in the abortion and rediscover the relationship that was taken from you. 

You are that child’s father forever.  Nothing can change that.  If you can’t face it, Father’s Day will always be a haunting time of grief at worst and a depressing blanket of discomfort at best.  Lost fathers have struggled, sometimes for decades, to come to grips with this.

Project Joseph can help.  These are men who know the experience.  They’ve lived it.  They’ve been in that pit of suffering and want to share the way out with others enduring it.

Reconnect with your lost child.  Rediscover your fatherhood.  Come to a place of recovery and renewal, of forgiveness and peace.

And let the worst thing about Father’s Day be an ugly tie.
