“After I had the abortion it was like I was holding this big secret. I didn’t want anyone to know because I felt guilty and so ashamed. There’s always this sense of loss and I struggle with sadness.” Centre Client
While some women experience a sense of relief following an abortion, others may struggle with difficult emotions. These feelings can surface right away or emerge months—or even years—later.
When you contact a pregnancy care centre, or connect online, you will meet trained people who want to help. Both offer a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore and process the emotions that may come with abortion loss.
You don’t have to face this alone.
