Emptiness Guilt Shame Anger Sense of loss
These are just some of the unexpected reactions which some people have experienced following abortion (termination of pregnancy). Others have reported an initial sense of relief soon gave way to deep sadness, depression, sleep disturbances, nightmares, difficulties being around babies or children, strained relationships, anxiety, and low self worth, sometimes leading to eating disorders or drug or alcohol dependency.
Fear of being judged by others means you’re more likely to keep the abortion a secret, suffering in silence the heavy weight of mixed emotions.
