The point of this website (and I am nothing to do with this website) I am sure is to allow post-abortive women a voice – something that they have been denied for too long.

Sometimes women don’t feel much emotion one way or the other in the beginning, but that can change and intensify. I don’t say this to alarm you, but rather, to warn you (in the gentlest sense) that sometimes a post-abortive woman can be moving along happily in her life and then something can trigger those locked feelings to surface. If that does happen, please seek out counselling – don’t keep the pain to yourself.

It is beautiful and important that you want to remember your child in “some small way” – perhaps buy a little angel statue and put it in your ‘good things’ cabinet, or write your little one a letter. Give him/her a name, if you are unsure, use a name that can be used for either a boy or a girl eg Pat, Chris.

Thank you for sharing your story.
