Post Abortion feelings of Depression, Grief, Feelings of Loss, Sadness, Avoiding others

I read posts from precious young ladies and my heart ached when I read the feelings of these women....so I wanted to start this thread for others who may be experiencing these things, and to shine a light of hope for healing and restoration. I worked as a post abortion recovery counselor. Anyone who wishes to share, my ears AND my heart are open. We need to lift one another up and offer encouragement, hope, and walk one another through this path to healing.

Hello I had an abortion just last friday. I don't think i can get through this. I cant breathe my heart is crushed I made the wrong decision and there is nothing I can do about it. I don't know how to get through this. My husband is great trying to be there for me. I am just so sad. Please I don't know what to do....

Hi Crystal,
I am terribly sorry for not getting back sooner, my husband was in Iraq and some things came up. How are you doing? How are you feeling? It is absolutely a blessing that your husband is there to help you out?
Have you thought about any counseling? They have post abortion recovery counseling that is no cost, and it really has a HUGE impact on your life. Keep your chin up. Please post me and let me know what is going on.

Hi Crystal…

For what ever it’s worth, it’s a good thing you’re feeling these things now and you can immediately go to a psychiatrist. People say it helps so it’s worth a try.

I had an abortion about 19 years ago and just now all my feelings are surfacing. I’m having similar feelings as you are and will look into talking to someone this week.
I suppressed my feelings for so long that all of the sudden now I’m going on an emotional roller coaster that I cannot control an can barely deal with.

I wish you the best luck
