I’m 24 and had an #abortion last month… I was confused and naive, my sister told me not to disgrace our family, I couldn’t fight for my tiny one, and I opt for surgical abortion, the excruciating pain is still fresh in my memory and still hurt in my stomach…. All my sister and nurses told me was that I and everything will be fine after the evacuation but NO my mental health is broken, I’m losing it, I cried secretly every night, knee to God for forgiveness, I am a big sinner…. The emotional damage is getting out of hand I’m hating myself, just why can’t I fight for the innocence baby? Just why can’t I heard the voiceless baby? I’m down honestly…. Abortion is not a good option ❌

You may want to check out a bible study workbook called Forgiven and Set Free by Linda Cochrane. It can be bought in a lot of different online stores. https://store.focusonthefamily.com/forgiven-and-set-free/
Even though going through the bible study workbook on your own is great, I think doing it with a group is much better. After my abortion, I did a healing workbook on my own and then years later did a bible study support group with the workbook Forgiven and Set Free. Even though attending a group with others can be intimidating, it was much more effective for me and, I believe, for most people.
Some churches offer bible study support groups with the book Forgiven and Set Free. Otherwise, many pregnancy centers do; I did my group study through a pregnancy center. These are free groups; the only thing you might need to pay for is the workbook, which may cost about fifteen dollars. To find a pregnancy center in your area, you can Google “Pregnancy Center (name of your city or county)” or look for one via optionline.org.
I encourage you to pursue these routes. Even though they may feel intimidating and overwhelming, it is worth it because God has such amazing things planned for you beyond these current feelings and circumstances.
