Healing from Abortion Resources

Healing After Abortion

Without question, abortion can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a person’s life. Statistics estimate that close to 1 in 3 women of childbearing age have experienced an abortion. These women carry an incredible burden of silence and heartache while wearing smiles on their faces.

​

Many people struggle for years with repressed memories, guilt, shame, and depression. The truth is many women who have had an abortion suffer from symptoms of post-abortion grief and trauma. Most women feel they aren’t allowed to talk about their abortion experience because it was their “choice.”

​

As with any traumatic experience, many post-abortive women experience physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms they may not realize are directly related to a past abortion.

  • Do you feel you can’t tell anyone about your abortion (they just wouldn’t understand)?

  • Are there details about the abortion that you cannot remember? 

  • Have you lost interest in things you used to love since having the abortion? 

  • Do you often feel angry and irritable? 

  • Do you tend to look at your life in terms of “before” and “after” the abortion?

  • Has your self-concept changed?

  • Do you find yourself struggling to ignore the feelings connected to your abortion?

  • Do you find yourself involved in unhealthy relationships or self-destructive behaviors?

  • Have you experienced any prolonged times of depression or suicidal thoughts since your abortion?

  • Are you using/abusing alcohol or drugs to numb your feelings?

Is Abortion Affecting Your Life,
Your Health and Your Well-being?
