Finding Healing After Abortion

The decision to have an abortion can be deeply personal, and the emotional aftermath is different for every woman. You may feel a mix of emotions—relief, guilt, shame, or regret. No matter how you’re feeling, it’s important to understand that your emotions are valid, and there is support available to help you heal.

The Emotional Impact of Abortion

In the days, weeks, or even years following an abortion, many women find themselves wrestling with complex emotions. You may feel conflicted about your decision, or you may be overwhelmed by feelings of sadness or isolation. It’s not uncommon for these emotions to surface long after the abortion has taken place, catching you off guard.

If you’re experiencing any of these feelings, it’s important to know that you don’t have to go through this alone. Reaching out for support is a crucial step toward healing and finding peace.
