Reddit mentions of The Healing Choice: Your Guide to Emotional Recovery After an Abortion

I wouldn’t say it’s super common, but it’s definitely not abnormal. I felt, and still occasionally feel, the same way. It sucks that it’s a time-sensitive thing, I wish I had had months to make the decision! Your feelings are valid. I like to think that I made the decision as a mother, and as mothers we have to make uncomfortable choices for the sake of our children - potential, current, and future. I had to sacrifice bringing that potential person into the world so I could have more time to cultivate a better life, and be more prepared, for my future children. You can think of it that way if it’s helpful for you.

I’ve also been using some workbooks to help me work through my emotions. This one is free and has been super helpful. I also picked up this book off Amazon and have been enjoying it. I don’t relate to everything in it, but it has some helpful exercises.

It’s okay to grieve, it’s okay to regret, it’s okay to have mixed feelings. But now we have to make the choice to heal. You’ve got this 💜
