If you've had an abortion then these are some of the symptoms you may have noticed. Doesn't matter if you've had one a few months ago or 20+ years ago, the effects can be the same. Other symptoms can include a change in your personality, self destructive behaviors, unable to get close to people, distant from your own children or others, etc.
I had an abortion 18+ years ago and I suffered from most of the above. Men and women don't often realize the toll that an abortion can take on someone's life. They don't often talk with people about the emotional trauma that can accompany an abortion...not just the possible physical damage. So, what do you do if it's something you might think you need to deal with?
I received incredible healing and strength by attending a Rachel's Vineyard Retreat one weekend. My retreat was 2 1/2 years ago and I cannot fully describe the change it brought to my life. It set me upon a path of healing that allowed me to let go of the pain and emotional suffering that came with the past abortion. I was freed, in a sense. I reclaimed my life.
These retreats are offered all over the country. I invite you to checkout the web site if you think you may be suffering and need to explore a way to finally get past this emotionally deadening event.
I'm listing the web address below. Feel free to send me a message, as well, if you have additional questions.
God bless!

If you are in the Oklahoma area, then you can also go to Catholic Charities web site (no, you need not be Catholic or of a particular faith to attend a retreat): http://www.catholiccharitiestulsa.org/rachels_vineyard_2.aspx
