Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

This morning I was looking around the web and found a post by someone feeling guilty because of abortion.

"as soon as this was done i regretted it, since then i have cried, feel
totally lost and almost as though i have no-one to talk to. I feel
angry my financial situation has controlled the life of to our child
that could of been. I thoroughly enjoyed my first pregnancies and always
said i would never abort a child but when faced with such a hard
decision that seems there is no way out of, there i was doing it
myself, which i am angry for, i know people do this know because they
see no way how they may cope financially, emotionally or without a
supportive partner but i feel like i have let myself down, and know it
is too late for me to change time"

Here are just a couple of line from some replies she got:

"Hi,I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling so bad.You have no reason to though"

"It is very early days and your hormones will be all over the place,
which won't be helping. I think that soon you will be feeling better,
you made the decision for all the right reasons."

"Hi im sam. You have done nothing wrong, and you will be feeling down…
IYour mind and body make that choice for you and for your own
reasons your mind was telling you that this was not the right time for
you or your family. Your mind was made up for a reason and you have no
reason to feel bad about that"

i feel badly for the woman who was looking to be confirmed in her feelings. Not one person acknowledged the fact that she is feeling badly because she had an abortion. The denial is almost unbelievable..that "it has to be something else" mentality that has caused so many women so much harm. If anyone legitimized her feelings we would be told we instill guilt, but it is obvious her guilt is already there. I am praying that woman finds the help she needs to heal from her abortion. Please keep her in your prayers too.
