A Timeless Memorial Journey to the Unborn and Unforgotten
Eugene Wynyard
Father and Founder of The Great Unborn Wall
I’m Eugene Wynyard, father and founder of The Great Unborn Wall.
My journey here was neither simple nor straightforward—it was forged in the crucible of personal heartbreak, soul-deep reflection, and an unshakable calling to transform pain into purpose.
In 1995, during what felt like a steady and committed relationship, I was complicit in the decision to end the life of my unborn child through abortion. At the time, I believed the common narrative—a medical procedure, clinical and benign, with no lasting emotional or spiritual repercussions. What I didn’t realise was that the truth about abortion was more profound and devastating than I could have ever imagined.
For the next two decades, the memories of that decision lay buried, untouched and forgotten. But in 2015, a single question—what I now call “The A-Bomb Question”—shattered the silence: “Have you ever been involved in an abortion?” That question detonated deep within me, unleashing a tidal wave of suppressed grief, remorse, and confusion. It felt as though a dormant bomb had gone off in my soul, forcing me to confront the truth I had long avoided.
Through tears, pain, and prayer, I began to see abortion not as a sterile medical procedure but as the ending of a human life—a life that deserved love, honour, and remembrance. Overwhelmed by guilt and shame, I sought healing resources for men who carried the weight of abortion’s aftermath. What I found was disheartening: while some claimed to support men, they failed to address our unique emotional and spiritual needs.
I realised then that men like me needed something more.
This realisation set me on an extraordinary journey—a quest to understand post-abortion trauma in all its complexity. Through months of study, I discovered five core wounds that abortion inflicts and five principles that offer a path to healing. Yet, I also learned that men and women experience these wounds differently. Addressing men’s pain would require a wholly unique approach, something compassionate, profound, and entirely new.
The result was The Unborn Father, a deeply empathetic guide that leads men through four transformative healing paths. Through my own journey and conversations with other men, I uncovered a simple yet profound truth: men do feel, men do grieve, and men can heal—when given the right space, language, and understanding.
But my mission didn’t stop there. Women too suffer profoundly from abortion’s impact, and their healing journey deserves equal care and attention. This inspired The Unborn Mother, a parallel healing path for women that honours their unique experiences and emotions while guiding them toward hope and renewal.
Both works, united by the shared principles of compassion, empathy, and grace, culminated in The Great Unborn Wall—a timeless memorial that offers a sacred space for parents to honour the lives of their unborn children. It is a place of remembrance and redemption, where grief finds solace and broken hearts are made whole.
This nine-year journey has been one of relentless dedication, involving over 100,000 written words and countless hours of prayer, reflection, and refinement. Along the way, I gained not just new skills, but a renewed sense of purpose: to shine a light on the hidden pain of abortion and offer parents a way forward—a path to clarity, closure, and peace.
Today, I stand as a man transformed by grace, humbled by my own failures, and determined to guide others toward healing. The Great Unborn Wall is more than a mission; it’s a movement—a call to honour the unseen, to humanise the forgotten, and to transform loss into love.
If you’ve found yourself on this journey, know that you are not alone. Together, we can turn sorrow into strength, and through remembrance, find redemption.
