Some women find themselves surprised and overwhelmed by the emotions they feel after having an abortion: confused about the fact that they feel sad, despite them making a choice to have the abortion, and/or feelings of guilt, shame and maybe anger.

I believe that an abortion is a loss and one we can grieve for, even if we feel that we made the right decision.

It can be complicated and it can help to have some support to integrate into, what can be for some, a difficult, even traumatic experience, in one’s life.
