HE SAID HE WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME

“I was 15 years old when I got pregnant by my boyfriend. For a while, I thought we would get married and be a family, and I secretly prayed for that, but didn’t really even know who God was. I did not know it at the time but he was an alcoholic. When his mother found out, she pressured me to get an abortion saying, “I was too young to be a mom”. He continued to drink and cheated on me. How could the person who was supposed to love me hurt me so badly? My heart was reeling with lies whispered by the deceiver, so I made an appointment with an abortion clinic thinking it would “take care of my problem”. Once there, I should have run out, but instead I walked into the exam room. I was so distraught, what had I done? How did I get here?? I went through with the procedure—-

My journey to healing began about 20 years ago. I had met a young man and we fell in love. I prayed to God that this man would become my husband, and God answered that prayer! My future husband and I started going to church, where he accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, got baptized and then we got married in the church! As our faith journey has progressed, I have received hope and healing through Bible study, prayer and attending an abortion recovery retreat. I was able to honor the memory of my son and receive true forgiveness and healing from the Lord! My favorite verse is Philippians 4:13Open in Logos Bible Software (if available), “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” If abortion is in your past, the same love and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ is available to you! Don’t wait another minute believing the lies!” C.

Help, Hope, and Healing After Abortion

June 27, 2025

Abortion is often portrayed as a decision that ends a difficult situation, but for many women, it’s the beginning of an emotional journey they didn’t expect. If you or someone you love is struggling with grief, guilt, or confusion after an abortion, please know this: you are not alone. Every story is unique, but one thing is true for many—after-abortion emotions can be real, deep, and sometimes overwhelming. The good news is that healing is possible. There is hope. And you don’t have to face it alone. You Are Not Alone It’s common to feel isolated after an abortion. You might find it hard to talk about what you’re going through, especially if others expected you to “move on” or “feel relieved.” But if your heart is heavy, your emotions are valid. Many women, and even men, carry the weight of abortion silently. Some struggle with sadness, anger, shame, or regret—sometimes years later. These feelings don’t mean you’re weak. They mean you're human. Healing Is a Journey There is no one-size-fits-all timeline for healing. Some people begin to process their experience shortly after an abortion, while others may not realize they need healing until months or even years have passed. Healing starts with acknowledging your feelings—without judgment. It continues by opening up to someone who understands, someone who will listen with compassion and care. You don’t have to live in silence or shame. There is a path forward. There Is Hope Hope comes from knowing that change is possible. It comes from the courage to take one small step toward healing. You can begin to rediscover peace. You can experience restoration—emotionally, spiritually, and even relationally. You are worthy of healing. And healing does not erase your past—it transforms it.
