Post Abortion Recovery
The scars of abortion are often so deep that women and men have difficulty sharing their pain with others. They may isolate themselves from others thinking there is something wrong with them. Women ask, “How can something that is a woman’s right hurt so much?” More often than not, her emotional response is due to her grieving the loss of her child. This grief is an appropriate response. (1) Symptoms of Post Abortion Distress (2) include but are not limited to:
- Guilt, Being Secretive
- Inability to “forgive self”, Sleep Disturbance
- Shame, Sorrow, Self Punishment
- Anger, Self-Degrading
- Depression, Self-Condemnation
- Anxiety, Alcohol/Drug Abuse
- Hopelessness, Suicidal Thoughts
- Panic, Promiscuity
- Flashbacks/Nightmares, Feeling Isolated
- Regret
