When we suppress how we truly feel, sometimes the emotions we hoped would pour out of us have a way of trickling back in. This can make it harder to hold them back, and these feelings will often spread into other areas of our life. You may have experienced this if you tried to suppress your feelings about the abortion and resume your daily routine. Things might have went back to normal, and for a while, it might have felt as if your grieving was over.
But what may have begun as a dull ache that you kept sequestered inside, you may have grown into a throbbing pain. The sorrow you felt after the abortion may not be over yet, and that is okay. It’s normal to feel, and you can work through your thoughts on the abortion. What you’re feeling isn’t strange, and it does not have to remain a secret. You deserve to have the chance to heal.
