Abortion is for many is a complex and difficult experience, and each person's experience is unique.
Abortion can impact someone at every level of their being: physically, psychologically, spiritually, relationally, socially.
Some people adjust and have few issues after their abortions.
However, for those who experience negative reactions it can be hard to talk about, so beginning the journey of healing is first about knowing that what I feel or experience around my abortion/termination is okay, and not unusual for what happened.
As a pregnancy loss experience, grief and trauma associated with abortion is a natural response.
Reaching out for help and support can also be difficult, especially if the abortion is cloaked in secrecy or shame for any reason.
But being able to share your story with someone who can really listen and not judge you can begin a process of recovery and healing.
