Are you feeling overwhelmed? We understand. Life is too hard to do alone. Sometimes you need someone to talk to, who you can trust.
The lay counselors at the Oxford Women’s Care Center are ready to listen. Our lay counseling is confidential and available to you free of charge.
Post-Abortion Healing
If you have experienced an abortion, you might feel alone and depressed. Maybe you had an abortion last week or years ago and never shared that experience with anyone.
Women’s feelings about abortion are wide-ranging. Most women immediately feel a sense of relief. But for some women, their abortion has caused them to feel guilty, shameful, or judged.
Maybe the decision to have an abortion was because of your age, you felt unprepared for parenthood, or someone coerced you. Whatever your reasons, we want you to know there is hope and healing.
Signs of Post-Abortion Trauma
Every woman experiences abortion differently. Here are some of the common symptoms women feel:
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Guilt
- Intense grief or sadness
- Anger
- Inability to forgive oneself
- Suicidal thoughts
Healing Is Possible

Our lay counselors can talk with you one-on-one about your emotions and how you can overcome them. Every conversation is strictly confidential and free.
