Dear Ky,
You have suffered a loss, and it was not an insignificant loss. We all deal with grief and loss in our own unique way. Grief & loss are both difficult and we have to work through those things. It can take a long time - it just depends. You cannot put a time frame on it (such as you will feel all better in two weeks!). Nope - that is not how it works. This kind of grief will stay with you throughout your life. It will get better, but there may be some small thing that brings it back time to time and maybe not.
What is important is that you deal with that grief - like you have started to do. And although that is also hard, it is critical to your healing. Going "through" something is different than burying it or going around it, etc. You have to go "Through" it and let it takes it's course.
You cannot get "stuck" in a certain part of grief - such as anger or denial, that will hurt you and the ones you love. Some of us get "stuck" in certain things with grief and that can do harm.
I am glad you posted and glad you found us and hope you continue to work through all this. You can also visit this site:
www.safehavenministries.com
or
http://www.optionline.org/hadabortion.html
The last website there also has a directory for pregnancy centers - look one up near you and call them. The majority of them offer FREE post-abortion counseling and that would be really helpful.
Lastly here, please remember you are NOT alone - and there are many women out there hurt by abortion.
Hugs, Kris
