Ardyce West is a Spiritual Practitioner for the Centers for Spiritual Living in Colorado. She provides spiritual guidance and counseling for individuals and groups on many topics including abortion, forgiveness, healing, women's issues, domestic abuse, death and dying, and grieving. She teaches classes on the subject of healing, forgiveness and well-being, and has led workshops and chaired large retreats for multi-faceted healing conferences. Her new book, "I Never Heard You Cry – a Compassionate Journey Through Abortion", explores the personal side of abortion, which is often disregarded in this volatile and divisive issue. She examines the roots of unexpected shame and regret that some women and men feel after aborting their child, while acknowledging that others are able to move on from the experience without difficulties.She takes no side in the a pro-life vs pro-choice battle, but rather points out that many people struggle with their abortion decision for years – even decades afterward. Her book is a tool to help uncover what has been hidden from past experiences, revealing truth, peace and harmony.
