Struggling after an abortion?
Abortion can be a traumatic experience for many women. You may find yourself struggling with thoughts, feelings, and symptoms you didn’t expect, whether your abortion was 1 day, 6 months, or 20 years ago. Please know that you are not alone. You may feel like the choice you made is one that you will never be able to escape, but there is hope. Many women have walked in your shoes before and have gone on to experience freedom and healing in their lives and stories. And this can be true for you too.
After an abortion, many women experience:
- anxiety and/or depression
- outbursts of anger or rage
- nightmares or sleeping disorders
- recurrent and intrusive thoughts about the abortion or the aborted child
- flashbacks to the abortion experience
- repression or denial of feelings about the abortion
- a sense of hopelessness or futility about the future
- withdrawal or estrangement from others
- diminished interest in previously enjoyed activities
- drug or alcohol abuse
- suicidal thoughts or acts
If you identify with any or multiple of these experiences, you may benefit from support after an abortion.
Our Healing Group- An 8 Week Journey
Our group is made up of women who each have their own abortion story. We meet once a week for 8 weeks, where we discuss and follow a curriculum* together that has provided peace, freedom, and healing to hundreds of women that find themselves struggling after abortion.
If you are interested in joining, please call or email our staff member below to set up a phone call or meeting to discuss dates, times, and if this group could be a good fit for you.
