Healing Is Possible

Have you not felt like yourself after an abortion experience? Are you wondering if you will ever experience peace again? Abortion can be tough on women, emotionally and physically. Some women struggle right after an abortion, while others don’t experience challenges until years later.

The emotional effects of an abortion procedure can vary based on the woman. Some common mental health issues that women face after an abortion experience include the following:

• Relationship problems
• Substance misuse
• Depression
• Thoughts of suicide
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

To recover emotionally after an abortion, you may still need to grieve and work through your emotions to get the breakthrough you want. You are not alone. Most women need practical support throughout their recovery and healing process. At Anderson Pregnancy Care, we can help.

Let Yourself Grieve

An essential step to healing after abortion is the grieving process. Everyone deals with grief differently, and that’s normal. Emotions can become even stronger when ignored, and it’s important not to suppress them.

Know that you have the right to grieve this loss. Give yourself permission to feel and process your emotions. We know it’s not always an easy journey, but hope and healing are available to you with the right support.

Seek Professional Help

Asking for help is the bravest step in recovery. It takes courage to ask for someone else’s help, and this step is key to finding breakthroughs throughout your recovery process.

Not everyone wants to see or can afford to go to a therapist. There are still other resources and support available to you. For example, after-abortion support groups allow you to share your story and hear from women (or men) who are on a similar journey. These groups can remind you that you aren’t alone as you build a supportive network of caring people.
