If you’ve had an abortion and are experiencing feelings of regret or loss, you’re not alone. Others have had similar experiences–and they’ve found healing. There are both physical and emotional effects that can seem impossible to overcome alone.

While no woman’s abortion experience is identical, studies have shown that adverse mental health effects like depression and grief can also occur after abortion. You don’t have to figure out this recovery process alone.

Post-Abortion Recovery

Our compassionate and non-judgemental client advocates help individuals overcome the emotional trauma and spiritual issues experienced after an abortion.

Abortion is a life-altering decision. Sometimes, the emotional effects of an abortion are immediate. At other times, those emotions build over time. If you’ve experienced abortion in the past, ask yourself these questions:

• Do you find yourself struggling to turn off the feelings connected to your abortion(s), perhaps telling yourself to forget about it?
• When choosing to share about your abortion(s), are you overcome with strong feelings?
• Are there certain times of the year when you find yourself depressed or sick?
• Did you begin or sharply increase your substance abuse after your abortion(s)?
• Would you like to stop using but feel powerless to do so?
• Did you begin engaging in dangerous or illegal activities following the abortion(s)?
• Has your self-esteem changed since your abortion(s)?
• Do you fear that you will never be able to have children?
• If you have children now, do you sometimes feel emotionally disconnected from them?
• If you have children now, do you sometimes demand too much from them?
• Have you had an increase in aggressive or violent behavior since your abortion(s)?
• Have you had problems in marriage or other close relationships since your abortion(s)?
• Do you tend to look at your life as before and after the abortion(s)?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, take your first step towards healing. Our abortion recovery programs are used to aid individuals in their journey to healing.
