Experiencing an abortion can leave you feeling a variety of emotions, no matter how secure your decision is at the time. Some are faced with immediate effects finding it hard to cope with the day-to-day, while others may go years before feelings surface. At Embrace, we offer confidential abortion recovery services. They are completely free of charge and available for both men and women who are ready to work through their feelings.
It’s natural to try to forget negative experiences. You may have even tried to deny or ignore these feelings. But yet they seem to intrude on your thoughts at the most inopportune times. You are not alone.
Is It Normal To Feel This Way?
Researchers and health care professionals are now classifying these symptoms as Post-Abortion Syndrome. These symptoms could include any or all of the following:
- Guilt
- Anxiety
- Anger or irritability
- Nightmares, sleeping disorders
- Depression, numbness
- Suicidal thoughts
In addition, you may struggle with developing eating disorders, alcohol & drug abuse, or difficulty maintaining loving relationships. If you are having any of these feelings, ignoring them will not make them disappear. Seeking help may be one of the toughest decisions you have to make, but also one of the best.

Karina’s Story
“After my experience at Embrace, I felt renewed. I was able to have the hope of a better future, of not carrying my shame and guilt. Being in a group setting was especially helpful because too often I felt alone. A lot of the emotions I felt were shared by others and I felt understood. For anyone considering attending, I would highly recommend it. Even if you’re nervous or unsure, you will feel better once you attend and are greeted with love and not judgment.”
