Why Tell the Secret? Part I

I encountered a post-abortive woman recently that asked me that question. She had been through the “healing process” and wanted to know why it was important to tell her children of her abortion. I have thought about that question several times since that encounter. Is it enough just to be healed? Or are there valid reasons why we need to tell others? Over the next few days we will visit this topic as we examine why it is indeed important to tell the secret to certain significant people such as our spouse, our children, and others. (Of course there are other criteria that should be considered before telling the secret. Look for more on how and when to tell the secret in the coming weeks.)
