What is Second Fire?

If you feel you have never completely healed or recovered from an abortion experience, or that a past abortion may be affecting your current quality of life, then Second Fire is for you.

This study offers an 8-step biblical healing modeled by women who have been where you are. It is a study designed to bring women together who understand the need for seeking peace with the past and desire a better understanding of God’s plan for making the most painful losses of our past work for His glory!

Led by Catholic women who themselves have experienced the pain of abortion, our mission is to provide a supportive and confidential environment that facilitates healing and restoration from a past abortion and bringing a sense of hope and purpose for the future. If you have an abortion in your past and you’re seeking a brighter future, then join us in Second Fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you experiencing Post-Abortive Stress Syndrome?

  • Do you find yourself struggling with feelings connected to your abortion(s)? Are you trying to make yourself “forget” about it?
  • Are you emotionally affected by reminders of your abortion such as babies or pregnant women?
  • Are there certain times of the year when you find yourself depressed, sick or accident-prone? Could these occur around the anniversary date of the abortion or the month the baby would be born?
  • Have you experienced a substantial increase in drug or alcohol use? Are you involved in self-destructive behaviors (e.g., eating disorders, abusive relationships, increased sexual activity)?
  • Have you experienced prolonged depression? Have you had any suicidal thoughts since your abortion?
  • Are you able to talk about abortion? When you begin to discuss abortion, are you overcome with strong feelings?
  • If you have children now, do you overprotect them? Or, are you unable to bond with the child or children?

If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, please make a confidential call/text to the Second Fire team at 740.527.0730 or email us. 


Suicidal thoughts or feelings are sometimes experienced by those who have been involved in an abortion. If this is happening to you, please get help immediately. We want you to know that there is hope for you, and that we care very much. For immediate help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800.273.8255.
