I had an abortion last week, and I’m dealing with a lot of grief and guilt. I’m struggling trying to find motivation to get back to my regular activities. It’s been hard. I feel severely depressed and find it hard to eat anything. I’m also struggling with school, probably from lack of motivation.

How do you heal? I’m lost. It’s a daily struggle. I just don’t know how to forgive myself.

I had an abortion a year and a half ago. I went through a very abusive relationship mentally and emotionally. When I got pregnant, I wanted to keep it, but the person I was with forced me to get an abortion. I don’t really talk about it. I’m really depressed. I tried to hide it away, but it’s just hard. I basically lost myself. All I feel is guilt for doing it.

These are the voices we hear every day— women and men carrying pain they feel they cannot share with anyone. The shame. The isolation. The belief that no one could possibly understand.

Here’s what many people don’t realize: regardless of anyone’s views about abortion, the reality is that people from all walks of life can struggle deeply after abortion. Some feel relief initially, only to be blindsided by grief months or even years later. Others know immediately that something has shifted inside them—but don’t know where to turn or if they’re even “allowed” to feel this way.

They’re struggling, and they’re struggling alone.

Too often, conversations about abortion become polarized, politicized, and disconnected from the real human experiences at the center. People suffering after abortion can feel caught in the crossfire—criticized from one side for experiencing it, criticized from the other side for struggling with it. Unable to speak their truth in either space.

But here’s what we know to be true: Your feelings after abortion are valid, whatever they are. Grief is real. Regret is real. Relief can coexist with sadness. Anger, confusion, numbness—all of it is real. And all of it deserves to be acknowledged with compassion.

Meeting people where they are

Support After Abortion exists to create the safe space that so many people desperately desire.

We provide compassionate, judgment-free support to anyone struggling after abortion. When someone calls our After Abortion Line, searches our provider directory, or accesses our resources, they find what they’ve been seeking: a place where they can finally be open about their pain without fear of condemnation or agenda. We don’t come with a political stance. We don’t tell people what they should feel or how quickly they should “get over it.” We simply hold space for their experience as they navigate their healing journey.

But we don’t stop at listening. We connect people to healing options that meet their unique needs:
● One-on-one or group support—because some desire individual care while others find strength in community
● In-person or virtual sessions—meeting people in the format that works for their lives
● Clinical or peer-led approaches—honoring that healing looks different for different people
● Faith-based or secular resources—respecting each person’s spiritual journey

We meet each person as they are. We listen without judgment. We speak with compassion. And we connect them with the healing path that’s right for them—not a one-size-fits-all approach, but personalized care that honors their individual path.

Through our comprehensive resources—including programs like Keys to Hope & Healing, Finding Solid Ground for men, Unraveled Roots for digging deeper into what’s under the pain, and our Nature-Based Healing guide— we provide practical tools for the healing journey. Whether someone prefers a religious or secular approach, whether they want professional clinical support or peer-led groups, whether they need to process alone or in community—we have options that work for them.

Lives transformed through hope and healing

The transformation we witness is nothing short of remarkable. People who once felt imprisoned by shame and secrecy find freedom. Those drowning in darkness discover light breaking through. Hearts that were shattered begin to mend.

Listen to their voices:

I called the After Abortion Line out of desperation. I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The pain was all consuming. The phone rang, and a woman answered. She let me cry, told me it was OK to feel. She stayed on the phone with me until I felt better; drained, but better. I just finished my healing group and cannot believe how different I am today than I was just a few months ago. Thank you for saving
my life.

When I first started my group I couldn’t even say the word abortion. I felt if I acknowledged what I had done I would have to relive it. The opposite has been true—in sharing my story with those in mygroup I have found that acknowledging what I did has given me freedom, not caused me more pain.

I never thought I would get out of the darkness I was living in. I never thought I would be able to talk about all the trauma I endured in my life, especially my abortion. I felt alone and ashamed. Then I found Support After Abortion through a simple Google search. The Keys to Hope and Healing group was exactly what I needed to start breaking free.

This is what hope and healing look like. Lives reclaimed. Futures restored. People who thought they’d never smile again learning to laugh. Parents who couldn’t look at their living children without guilt now embracing them with freedom.

In 2025 alone, with donor support, we’ve:
● Supported over 300,000 client engagements
● Provided 96,000 abortion healing provider trainings
● Facilitated more than 9,300 directory searches connecting people to local care
● Gained over 21,000 views of our self-guided healing resources
● Created over 611,000 social media connections

But behind every statistic is a person—a woman or man who was drowning and found solid ground. Someone who was isolated and found community. Someone who encountered compassion and discovered healing.

The people we serve are finding new life. They’re stepping out of shadows. They’re breaking cycles of trauma. They’re becoming whole again. They’re learning that their story doesn’t end in pain—that healing is possible, that hope is real, and that they deserve both.
