My initial feelings of relief with accompanying loss were followed by denial regarding my three abortions. After sixteen years, the guilt I felt from the abortions began to overwhelm me. Through reconciliation and post-abortion counseling I can feel God’s forgiveness, forgive myself, and have peace of mind.

After 26 years it’s heartening to find an avenue for my mourning.

I’ve never forgotten the terrible feeling I had after I assisted a friend financially so that she could secure an abortion. I borrowed the money from a friend, so I involved yet another person in this act that I now profoundly regret.

The death of your children is very difficult to cope with in any case, but abortion is a death that goes unrecognized by society. There’s no funeral, no gathering of friends and family, no chance to grieve openly, no chance to say goodbye. I can remember just wanting someone to know, wanting someone – anybody – to acknowledge my loss, wanting someone to tell me it’s ok to grieve.
