Ten Ways to Support Her When She is Unexpectedly Expecting

While we believe that every life is a gift, when a woman is unmarried, still in school, or when it just seems like a bad time for whatever reason, a pregnancy can feel like a huge burden instead of a gift. This pamphlet gives ten suggestions of how you can give encouragement and practical help to a friend in that situation.  When hearing the news, it is best not to respond with shock or alarm, but be calm and understanding, without passing judgment.  It may or may not be helpful to congratulate her, but it is important to always affirm that every life is precious and beautiful.  Let her know you will be there to support her, and encourage her excitement and happiness at welcoming a new life into the world. 

The brochure is available at the Hospitality Desk in the Church and in the Ave Maria Family Life Center. Links to the text (8.5 X 11 format) are here:  English    Spanish.  

Additional copies of the brochure are available from Marie McCoy.
