Emotional and Psychological Impact
Following abortion, many women experience initial relief. The perceived crisis is over and life returns to normal. However, for many women the crisis is only just beginning. Months and even years later, significant problems may develop.
Women who have had an abortion may experience the following symptoms:
Guilt
Grief
Anger
Anxiety
Depression
Suicidal Thoughts
Difficulty Bonding with Partner or Children
Eating Disorders
Alcohol and Drug Addictions
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, our pregnancy center offers confidential, compassionate support designed to help women work through these feelings. You are not alone.
If you wish to begin the healing process from a past abortion or abortions, abortion recovery facilitators are available, free of charge. Deciding to seek help may be one of the toughest decisions you'll ever make, but it may be one of the best.
