Help After Abortion...Recovery IS Possible!

So you've had an abortion. You thought you would be fine afterward. You thought you could simply pick up your life where you left off and everything would go back to normal. That's what you were told. That's what you believed.

But the reality of the situation is altogether different.

You have trouble going to sleep at night. When you do finally drift off, the nightmares begin. You wake with a scream or in a cold sweat. But the last thing you want is to go back to sleep....

Or perhaps you find yourself thinking about it during the day. The thoughts won't stop. You fill your day with busyness, noise, booze, drugs or food - anything to make the thoughts and feelings stop.... Feelings of emptiness; loneliness; grief; regret; anger; deep, unrelenting feelings of loss....

You find you shudder at the sound of the vacuum cleaner or the suction of the dentist's tools. It takes you back to that day, so you begin to avoid those things altogether.

You notice that you can't see children or teens or young adults without thinking, my baby would be about that age now, if....

You may struggle in your relationships with family or friends or romantic interests.... You fly off the handle for seemingly no reason. You are accused of being cold and distant or mistrusting or controlling. You sleep around or avoid sex completely, trying to fill the void; trying to keep from being hurt more. You angrily defend your right to feel those things, to act those ways; after all, you've been betrayed, wounded, violated.

You may not make the connection between these feelings and behaviors and your abortion experience. Or you may know where they come from, but you just can't seem to get over them.

You may feel that things will never change; that the nightmares will never go away; that you will never be free of the thoughts and physical responses or relationship issues. You may come to realize the drugs or alcohol or food you were using to medicate those wounds have now begun to control you. You may fear you will never be free.

But I have good news for you!

No matter how bad it is, no matter how difficult your circumstances, you can be free! You can heal. You can recover. You can experience joy again. You can know peace again.

I won't lie to you: the journey isn't an easy one. It is one of the hardest things you will ever go through and it will take a lot of courage to take the steps necessary to go through the healing process, but healing --- recovery is possible.

You don't have to go through this alone. Neither do you have to tell family or friends that you are going through abortion recovery. We are here to help you, to walk with you through the healing process. I know firsthand the pain and damage done because of abortion. I have felt the grief, regret, guilt and shame of having been involved in an abortion. I have experienced the pain but I am no longer shackled by that abortion event. I am free. You can be free too.

You only have to take one step at a time. Pick up the phone or send the email. The first step is the hardest; once you conquer that, you are on your way to reclaiming your life.
