Mother’s Day can be beautiful.

But for many women, it’s one of the hardest days of the year.

It’s a day that quietly stirs grief… regret… and memories they’ve tried to bury. A day that reminds them of a child they never held, a decision they wish they could undo, and a pain they feel they have to carry alone.

At Wild Heart Ministries, we meet women right in that place.

We offer free, 4-day, faith-centered healing retreats for women who are struggling after abortion. These weekends are intimate, deeply personal, and grounded in the truth of the Gospel—that no one is beyond God’s mercy, and freedom is possible.

Women walk in carrying shame.

They leave experiencing forgiveness, healing, and hope.

And they don’t have to pay a thing.
🌿 Our Mother’s Day Goal: $1,500

This Mother’s Day, we’re trusting God to raise $1,500 to help cover the cost of upcoming retreats—meals, lodging, and the resources needed to care well for each woman who walks through our doors.

This Mother’s Day, you can help restore a mother’s heart.

Your gift makes it possible for a woman to step away from the noise of life and into a safe, beautiful space where she can finally face her story—and meet Jesus in it.

💛 $50 helps provide meals for a retreat guest
💛 $150 helps cover materials and resources for deep healing work
💛 $500 helps sponsor a woman’s full retreat experience

Every dollar goes toward creates a space for healing.

Want to make a lasting impact?

Monthly giving is one of the most powerful ways to support this work.

When you commit to giving each month—even a small amount—you help create stability and sustainability for Wild Heart. It allows us to plan ahead, say “yes” to more women, and continue offering these retreats completely free of charge.

It’s not just a one-time gift—it’s ongoing restoration.

Because of you…

A woman will be reminded that she is still a mother.
That she is not disqualified from love.
That her story is not over.

And that in Christ, redemption is real.

Will you give this Mother’s Day?

Help us reach and restore women who are silently hurting.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 (ESV)

This is why we do what we do. 💛

“The Wild Heart Retreat was a turning point in my healing. I arrived carrying deep pain and guilt, but through the love, prayers, and compassion of the team, I found forgiveness and peace in God’s arms. I learned that my story doesn’t end in sorrow - God can turn our pain into purpose. I left feeling lighter, restored, and with a heart full of hope.”

This Mother’s Day, we’re launching our Restore Her Heart campaign with a goal of $1,500 to help more women experience this kind of healing—completely free of charge. No gift is too small.

As we close out April—Abortion Recovery Awareness Month…we don’t want to end without saying this clearly:

Real healing is possible. And it’s found in Jesus.

Not in pretending it didn’t happen. Not in trying to “move on.”
Not in holding it together on the outside while something inside still feels unsettled.

Jesus meets us in the places we’d rather hide...the regret, the grief, the shame we've carried for years, the parts of our story we've never said out loud.

He doesn’t turn away from it, He steps into it.
Not with condemnation, but with mercy.
Not with distance, but with nearness.

And for many women… that’s the hardest part to believe.

That He would still want them. That He would still love them.
That what they’ve done hasn’t disqualified them.

But the truth is—
His grace goes deeper than our sin.
His mercy is not fragile.
And His desire is to restore, not reject.

Healing doesn’t happen all at once.

It’s often slow. Honest. Sometimes uncomfortable. But it’s real.

And you don’t have to walk into it alone.

At Wild Heart Ministries, we create space for women to encounter that kind of healing—through small, intimate, trauma-informed retreats centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

A place where you can be honest. A place where you can be met with grace. A place where healing can begin.

Our June retreat is now full. But if something in you is stirring, we encourage you to make a commitment for our October retreat before it fills as well.

As we continue through April—Abortion Recovery Awareness Month…there’s something many women carry, but rarely name.

Grief.

Not everyone feels it right away.
Sometimes it shows up years later.
Sometimes it comes in waves… and sometimes it feels buried so deep you’re not sure it’s even there.

And sometimes… we don’t feel like we’re allowed to grieve at all.

Because it was our decision.
Because no one else sees it as a loss.
Because we’ve told ourselves, “I chose this… so I don’t get to feel this way.”

But grief doesn’t work like that.

It can show up quietly—
in a due date you can’t forget.
in wondering who they would have been.
in a moment that catches you off guard.

Or it can show up as something else entirely—
a heaviness you can’t explain.
a sadness that lingers.
a sense of something missing.

And so often… we push it down.
We keep moving.
We don’t let ourselves go there.

But ungrieved loss doesn’t disappear.

It waits.

If this is part of your story…you are allowed to grieve.

Grief doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It doesn’t mean you’re stuck.
It means something mattered.

And acknowledging that is not the end—
it’s often the beginning of something deeper.

At Wild Heart Ministries, we create space for women to gently step into that grief—without pressure, without judgment, and without having to carry it alone.

You don’t have to keep avoiding it.
And you don’t have to face it by yourself.

Our June retreat is full but we are now accepting registrations for our fall retreat in October. Our space is limited so don't delay.

If you’re considering taking that step, we would be honored to walk with you.

Shame, Silence, and the Lies We Believe

As we continue through April—Abortion Recovery Awareness Month…we want to talk about something many women carry quietly.

Shame.

Not just regret.
Not just sadness.

But the kind of shame that settles deep—that changes how we see ourselves.

It sounds like this:
“I’m a bad person.”
“I should have known better.”
“I don’t deserve to be a mom.”
“No one can ever know.”
“God could never forgive me.”

So we stay silent.

We keep parts of our story hidden.
We show up for others… but feel disconnected inside.
We move forward on the outside, while something in us stays stuck.

And over time, that shame doesn’t just stay a feeling—it begins to show up in other ways.

Anger that feels hard to control.
Moments of rage that don’t quite make sense.
The need to control everything… or the opposite—feeling completely out of control.

Promiscuity.
Addiction.
Secrecy.

Unhealthy or painful relationships.
Low self-worth.
Depression that lingers.

Trying to cope through food… or control of it.

Sometimes we don’t even connect these things back to our abortion. We just know something isn’t right.

And those lies get louder—convincing us this is just who we are now.

But it’s not.

Shame will tell you to hide.
To isolate.
To believe that your story disqualifies you.

But your story is not the end of you.

There is truth that is stronger than shame.
There is grace that meets you right where you are.
And there is healing available—even for this.

At Wild Heart Ministries, we gently help women untangle the lies they’ve been carrying and replace them with truth—in a safe, confidential, and trauma-informed space.

No pressure.
No condemnation.
Just honest, compassionate care.

You don’t have to keep living under the weight of shame.
There is freedom on the other side of silence.

Our June retreat is now full but we are taking applications for our October retreat. There is no cost - our retreats are FREE!

If you’re ready—or even just curious—we would be honored to walk with you.

What No One Told Me After My Abortion

In continuing with April being Abortion Recovery Awareness Month…we want to talk about the part no one prepares you for.

What comes after.

Because for many of us…no one told us it might not just “go away.”

No one told us about the thoughts that come back years later.
The “what ifs.”

The wondering how old they would be today.

No one told us about the triggers—due dates, baby announcements, certain songs, certain places.

No one told us how it might affect our relationships.
How it could impact intimacy… trust… or even how we connect with future children.

No one told us about the coping.
Staying busy. Staying numb.
Avoiding anything that might bring it back up.

Or the opposite—
feeling it all at once when we least expect it.

And maybe the hardest part…
feeling like we’re the only one carrying it.

So we stay silent.
We push it down.
We tell ourselves it’s in the past.

But unhealed pain doesn’t stay buried.
It finds ways to surface.

If any of this feels familiar…
you’re not broken.
You’re responding to something that mattered.

And healing is still possible.

At Wild Heart Ministries, we create space for women to process what’s been carried—sometimes for years—in a safe, small, and trauma-informed setting.

You don’t have to keep managing this on your own.

There is a way forward.
And you don’t have to walk it alone.

Join us at our June retreat in Troy MT.
We would be honored to walk with you.

April is Abortion Recovery Awareness Month.

A time to acknowledge the stories that often go unspoken… and the healing that is possible on the other side.

There are a lot of reasons we choose abortion.
And if we’re honest… most of them don’t feel simple.

Sometimes it’s fear.
Not the right timing. Too young. Too overwhelmed.

Sometimes it’s pressure.
From a boyfriend. A husband. A family. A situation that feels
impossible to survive.

Sometimes it’s trauma.
R**e. Abuse. Trafficking. Addiction.

Sometimes it’s survival mode.
“I can’t do this.”
“This will ruin everything.”
“No one can know.”

Sometimes it’s complicated.
An affair. A future that feels like it’s slipping away.
Or even just trying to maintain control when everything else feels out of control.

And sometimes… it’s something we don’t even know how to explain. Just a decision made in a moment where we felt completely alone.

But what we don’t talk about enough is what comes after.

The mental weight.
The questions that don’t go away.
The grief that shows up years later in unexpected ways.

The way it can affect relationships… trust… identity.
The way it can shape how we see ourselves.

And even deeper—
the spiritual impact.
The quiet distance. The shame. The feeling of being “too far gone.”

If this is part of your story… you are not the only one.
And you are not beyond healing.

Healing doesn’t come from pretending it didn’t happen.
It comes from facing it—with honesty, with support, and with care.

At Wild Heart Ministries, we walk with women through that process. In small, intimate, trauma-informed groups where you are seen, heard, and not judged.

You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

If you’re ready… or even just curious… we’re here.

If you’ve had an abortion and still carry it…
the weight, the silence, the “I should be over this by now” — you’re not alone.

We meet women every day who look fine on the outside but are quietly carrying grief, shame, or questions they’ve never said out loud.

Our retreats are not surface-level.

They’re small, private, and real — a place to bring what you’ve been holding into the light and begin to heal.

📍 Dillon, MT — May 14–17
📍 Troy, MT — June 11–14 (only 3 spots left)

These are free, 4-day retreats for women who are ready to face their story and find freedom.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.
