Subject: How will I ever get over this?

 I had an abortion on Friday. I am 28 years old with a baby girl who just turned 7 months old. My boyfriend and I have been together for a few years now, and both love our daughter very, very much. However, we knew that we could not offer to give two children the kind of lives they deserved, and so decided to end the pregnancy. I feel the deepest sense of regret and despair... I know in my head I did the right thing, but I just can't make my heart believe it. Every time I look at my daughter, I know I have done this to make her life better. I cry all the time and am scared that I will never be able to forgive myself.

Dear Mya,
There is help,hope,healing, forgiveness and know that you are not alone.The sooner you get help the better because these feelings are not going to go away by themselves and may get worse. Post abortion stress syndrom can effect every area of your life from bonding with your children, relationships, the ability to function, etc. I submitted to an abortion because of lies, deception and they withheld vital information from me at the time. When I found out the TRUTH I was devistated and suffered in silence for 15 years. I don't want you to suffer like I did so let me give you some websites to go to. http://www.operationoutcry.org http://www.afterabortion.org http://www.hopemonument.com If you want to talk more you can email me at mjschoettle@aol.com www.hopemonument.com
I am sorry for your loss and that you are hurting.

I'm 10 years younger then you. I went through something like this when I was 13. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to email me.

Dear Mya,

I am sorry for the sadness you have - you do need to allow yourself to mourn the loss.

I wish I would have known about support groups and I wish I would have turned to God long ago for help. I am now 39 and had an abortion when I barely turned 20. I was given some horrible advice one time to picture a box with a key and place it (the thought & regret) in the box lock it and then, throw away the key. I didn't realise until I was 37 that I had this large black hole within my soul that was never going to heal unless I released it, brought it to surface, and dealt with it. I was actually at a spiritual retreat when God opened my eyes to what I had hidden so long ago. Since then, I have realised that now I must try to help other women who have had abortions. This pain that you are feeling is real and needs to be healed. Deal with it now Sweetie before you lock it away and it comes to surface later in life.
God Bless.
