I Had an Abortion and I Regret It
If you’ve had an abortion and are overwhelmed by grief, regret, or emotional pain, you are not alone—and your feelings are valid. For many women, the time after an abortion is not what they expected. While some may feel relief, others are left with a deep sense of loss, confusion, or even shame. These emotions can feel isolating, especially when others tell you to “move on” or pretend nothing happened.
You are not alone. You are not beyond healing. And your story matters. There is support and help available.
The Silent Struggle
Abortion is often treated as a quick solution, but what’s rarely talked about is the emotional impact it can have afterward. Whether your decision was made under pressure, with manipulation or out of fear, the emotional aftermath may still surprise you.
Women often describe feelings of sadness, guilt, anger, or emptiness in the weeks, months, or even years after an abortion. You might be asking:
“Why do I feel this way?”
“How do I move forward?”
“Can I ever forgive myself?”
These are common and deeply human questions. You’re not crazy or broken. You’re grieving. And grief does not look the same for everyone.

It’s important to mourn a loss. You may not have felt like you had the freedom to grieve before—but you do now. Acknowledging your pain is the first step toward healing.
