I am writing to offer support for you as you cope with your grief. I am not sure what to say other than I relate. I think this grieving is part of honoring what has been. I am aware of how powerful choice is. I am not sure I like the power but I am very very aware. I wish you peace as you continue to work on this.
I am working on the grief related to my abortion on 8/29/02. I got pregnant, took a risk having sex, and decided to get married instead of having an abortion which was my first thought. The marriage was a disaster and I had an abortion anyway. There are so many feelings - huge regret and huge relief. I am overwhelmed with the vastness of my grief. Words do not describe it.
I do know I made the right choice. I have one child I have raised alone and I know that I do not have the energy to love another this much. I knew that from the beginning and decided to try the options. I could write and write forever and probably not feel done with this but do want to tell you you are not alone.
Finally, I am a substance abuse counselor in Colorado. I know that hitting these huge walls makes us want to sink into old ways. One thing I tell people and seek to honor in my self is "Choose what serves you best". Love, Mtn
