Finding Healing After Abortion: You Are Not Alone
The emotional impact of abortion is something that is often overlooked or dismissed, leaving many women feeling isolated in their grief. If you are experiencing regret, sadness, or unresolved emotions after an abortion, you are not alone—and there is hope for healing.
At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we provide compassionate, confidential post-abortive support to help you process your emotions, find peace, and begin moving forward.
Understanding Post-Abortion Grief
The emotional effects of abortion can surface immediately or years later, affecting your:
✔ Personal relationships – Difficulty connecting with loved ones
✔ Mental well-being – Anxiety, depression, or lingering guilt
✔ Physical health – Sleep disturbances, headaches, or chronic stress
✔ Self-worth – Engaging in self-destructive behaviors or feeling unworthy of healing
If you recognize any of these feelings in yourself, know that you don’t have to suppress or face them alone. Many women—and men—have walked this journey, and healing is possible.
Confidential Post-Abortive Care
Healing starts with acknowledging and processing your emotions in a safe, non-judgmental environment. At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we offer:
✔ One-on-One Support – Speak with a trained advocate who will listen with compassion and guide you through the healing process.
✔ Support Groups – Connect with others who understand what you’re going through and share insights in a confidential setting.
✔ Faith-Based Healing – If you are struggling with forgiveness—whether from God, yourself, or others—we offer resources to help you navigate spiritual healing.
We recognize that everyone’s journey is different, and our confidential care ensures that you receive personalized support at your own pace.
The Grieving Process & Finding Peace
After an abortion, many women feel relief at first, but those feelings may later shift to grief, regret, or emotional pain. Unlike other types of loss, abortion can feel isolating—there is often no formal process of grieving and no shared acknowledgment of loss.
It’s important to understand that:
✔ Your feelings are valid – Grief is a natural part of healing.
✔ You have the right to process your emotions – Healing is possible when you allow yourself to acknowledge and express your experience.
✔ Forgiveness is available – Many women struggle with guilt or shame, feeling that they cannot be forgiven. Whether you need to forgive yourself, seek spiritual guidance, or simply process your emotions, you don’t have to do it alone.
Healing is a journey, and you deserve support every step of the way.
