Abortion Healing

December 29, 2016 by

HealingGoing through an abortion can be an incredibly emotionally trying experience. Though the life never came to fruition, attachment can sometimes already be formed in the mind and heart of the mother.

 

Many women find consolation through support groups formed of others who have been through the same experience. Being able to safely open up and share can help to work through the natural grieving process that can accompany the loss. This is done without judgment in a safe space. No matter if the abortion was recent or years ago feelings of sadness, guilt, and loss can linger. Until they are dealt with and able to be released full healing isn’t always possible.

 

Support groups can help you learn healthy ways to move forward with forgiveness and compassion for yourself and help to heal underlying emotional turmoil. This allows you to move forward in peace with a level of acceptance and truly get on with your life.
