15 Aug How to Find Resources for Post-Abortion Healing
If you are struggling emotionally after an abortion procedure, you’re likely questioning how to move forward. It can be difficult to know where to turn during this time.
Now more than ever, you deserve the resources and support required to find healing. While the journey can be challenging, it isn’t impossible.
Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center provides no-cost, confidential post-abortion support. We’ll help you find what you need–no judgment, no pressure.
Locating Support
You may feel like you’re reeling from the abortion and don’t know how to take that first step. That is natural; giving yourself grace is crucial in this moment.
If you feel comfortable, speaking with a loved one (like a friend or relative) can help you start the process. Sharing your honest feelings and struggles after the abortion–and saying that you need help–-will show that you’d like their support in finding resources.
Along with the support system you choose, you can begin an online and in-person search for help. Your local church community may have post-abortion support groups or referrals. Some of its members may have had abortions and know what you’re experiencing.
If you are not located near a Lighthouse center, you could visit the website Your Abortion Experience to learn about national and local healing resources available to you. Whether it’s mental, spiritual, or other forms of healing you seek, you have options.
Your Mental Well-Being Matters
Locating a mental health counselor can also be critical to your healing journey. They can help you process your emotions–including any unexpected grief you may be feeling–develop coping tools, and create a vision for your future that teaches grace and acceptance.
In addition to these options, Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center is also here to walk alongside you during this time.
