Navigating Life After an Abortion

Whether your abortion occurred recently or years ago, you may feel conflicting emotions or have new feelings surface. Some women feel relief, while others may feel sadness, anxiety, guilt, or even confusion. 

Whatever you’re feeling, you can count on us to help. At Choices Pregnancy Center, we provide a safe and supportive place to begin or continue your healing process.

Recognizing the Impact

For some women, feelings of loss or regret may appear unexpectedly or develop gradually over time. What’s more, research suggests that women with a history of mental health struggles may be more vulnerable to developing further challenges. These challenges can worsen without support, and you may find it difficult to get through each day. That’s why healing is so essential.

There’s no roadmap for the healing process. One day you might feel like yourself, and the next you may feel overwhelmed by your emotions. Healing looks different for everyone, and it’s important not to compare your experience to someone else’s. Giving yourself grace is crucial to moving forward.

Your Healing Matters

There are many ways to support yourself during this time. You might try writing in a journal to help process your thoughts, spending time with loved ones, or participating in your favorite hobbies. Some women find talking with a licensed counselor helpful, while others can find community in support groups.

At Choices Pregnancy Center, our trained mentors support you through the complex emotions and issues that may arise. Visit our center to speak with someone who will listen to your story and provide confidential, non-judgmental support..
