Heartbroken after an abortion?

If so, you are not alone. All over the world many thousands of women are suffering as a result of abortion. For some the abortion is very recent; maybe you are dealing with emotions you were not prepared for? For others it was a long time ago. Have you been suffering a long time, or have you only recently realised how you and your relationships have been affected?

Here is part of what someone wrote in our Guestbook recently. Go there to read what others have written, and see if you can identify with any of them.

"when i found out i was pregnant, my life was perfect. we were happy, in love.... i couldn't leave a bucket. then one day after i lost 14kg in 2 weeks from being sick we were discussing how we were not ready. some how the decision was made. neither of us knows how, or why it happened, but it did. i was too sick to cope, yet wouldnt ask for help.... the day that i killed my baby, i wanted out. i wanted to run. neither my partner or i wanted to suggest not doing it yet we both wanted to just walk away. why we were there who knows. i was scared, too scared to speak up... after i pushed my partner away, gave up my career, and have lived a depressed life since.... and now what do i have to live for? lack of sleep, nightmares, self sorrow. what hope do i ever have of being happy again? of finding love again? who could possibly love me the way i am and how can i ever love someone when i cant love myself? and to make matters worse, i have been told i cant have children now. and i have to live with the fact that i killed my only child. when will the pain, tears and heartache start to fade?"

Maybe your pain is different: it wasn't your abortion, but someone else's that has caused you pain. A daughter perhaps? A friend, a partner, even a sibling or a parent? Did you find out too late, and are carrying the pain of not being able to change what happened? Were you the friend who accompanied her to the clinic, or the counsellor who advised her to terminate, and you are hurting now?

"Who will understand? Who can I talk to? Am I going crazy? Will I ever see my baby again? I feel really confused. Nobody ever warned me I (she) would feel like this. I hate myself! Can I ever be forgiven? I feel so empty inside" Each of these statements have been made by real survivors of abortion. Can you identify with their feelings ?

If you said 'yes' to any of the above, you are a survivor of abortion. This site is for you.
