​​“The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul…” —Gilbert K. Chesterton 
 
 Many of us think of the new year as a clean slate, a time to reset our priorities and to make changes to improve our lives. This may be your time to go deep and seek healing for lingering feelings about your abortion experience. Maybe you’ve gone through a healing group but feel the need to reconnect with supportive women who understand where you’ve been. We can help.  
 
 
We Offer Support   
 
 Finally, there is a place where you can talk openly about your    
abortion experience with someone who understands.    
We offer a safe community of women who have been where you are. Being in a safe place with safe people promotes sharing,   
 understanding, and healing. 

You Are Not Alone

Welcome to our new Abortion Recovery website and a tribute to Bessie

Bessie Adams served PDHC as a volunteer for 26 years and went home to be with the Lord on Friday, December 4th. Bessie touched so many lives and set a wonderful example for us all!   Bessie first became part of PDHC when a small pregnancy center in West Jefferson where she was volunteering, was combined into PDHC. She faithfully served as an active volunteer in PDHC’s Abortion Recovery (aR) Program for many years, first by leading groups of women through the post-abortion support program H.E.A.R.T., and the Living in Color program, as well as assisting in the Abortion Recovery weekend retreats, Connection Meetings, and other special events. Bessie has also served PDHC through the years as a greeter, client consultant and was an amazing mentor for young moms and dads as a facilitator for parenting classes in several of our PDHC Care Centers.   In 2016, Bessie received the PDHC “Pierce Award” as “Volunteer of the Year” because she is truly an example of God’s loving kindness and faithfulness. Her life experiences combined with her love for sharing God’s grace were the source of  Bessie’s spark and compassion for others.   While the rest of the world slows down their pace in the ‘golden years”, not Bessie. She always wanted to keep learning and kept an open mind to change.  Last year, she had just completed a Certificate in Ministry program at her church at the young age of 75!  She wanted to be qualified for whatever job God was preparing her to do! Bessie was an active member of the Potter's House Church of God in Columbus, OH and had received the support of her pastor to offer Living in Color Abortion Recovery groups at her church.  ​ Bessie, we honor you today and know that your legacy lives on here at PDHC! For more information on partnering with us, visit SupportLifePDHC.org.

Bessie's Place resides at our new Empowerment Center, for our Abortion Recovery Groups.
