Emotional and Psychological Impact
Following abortion, many women experience initial relief. The perceived crisis is over and life returns to normal. For many women, however, the crisis is not over. Months and even years later, significant problems develop.
Women who have experienced abortion may develop the following symptoms:
- Guilt
- Grief
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Suicidal Thoughts
- Difficulty Bonding with Partner or Children
- Self-destructive behavior
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, help is available through HEART (Healing Encouragement for Abortion Related Trauma). HEART groups are designed to help women work through these feelings. You are not alone.
If you wish to begin the healing process from a past abortion or abortions, HEART is available, free of charge. Individual or group sessions are available. Deciding to seek help may be one of the toughest decisions you have to make, but it may be one of the best.
To talk to someone about issues from a past abortion, please call, 717.920.0411 or email us. All calls are confidential.
