Some women experience an immediate feeling of relief following an abortion, but many find themselves later coping with feelings they did not expect. The loss created by an abortion often leaves an empty space in one's life that never seems to be satisfied. It is normal to try to fill this void, but eventually the emptiness surfaces again along with strong negative emotions that may be difficult to talk about. This psychological response is known as Post-Abortion Stress Syndrome, and may occur within days or weeks of an abortion experience or not until many years later.

If you wish to begin the healing process from a past abortion or abortions, post-abortion counseling is available for you at Care Net free of charge.

Deciding to seek help may be one of the toughest decisions you have made, but it may also be one of the best.
