You Are Not Alone

You are not alone as you recover after an abortion. The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons shares that nearly 75% of women who have had an abortion felt pressured into making the decision, and many suffered psychological effects afterward, including depression, guilt, shame, regret, self-hatred, feelings of unworthiness, anxiety, and even thoughts of suicide.

You may feel overwhelmed by the many emotions coming at you months or years after abortion. You don’t have to stay stuck here forever. There is hope. With the support of others and our team, you can experience joy and life again.

Give Yourself Time

Recovery doesn’t happen overnight after a traumatic experience. Like all difficulties, take things one day at a time. Experiencing setbacks is normal, and your emotions are valid. 

Moving Forward After Abortion

Many women experience adverse mental health effects like depression, anxiety, and grief after abortion. If any of these apply to you or you find it difficult to participate in everyday activities, know that others have been in your shoes and found healing.

Acknowledging that abortion is a major life event is the first step. Resources are available to help you process your experience and move forward.
