After an Abortion

An abortion decision can affect women in different ways. Some may feel relieved at first. Others experience sadness, anxiety, guilt, or grief later on, with feelings coming and going or even arriving at unexpected times.

Emotional responses may surface days, months, or even years after the procedure. If you have noticed changes in your mood, sleep, relationships, or overall mental health, you are not alone.

Options Clinic provides no-cost, confidential post-abortion support for women who would like to process their experience in a safe setting. We are here for you.

Common Emotional Responses

Every woman’s experience is different, with studies showing that some can encounter:

  • Sadness
  • Feelings of loss
  • Depression or anxiety

Research has also found that some women experience increased mental health challenges following abortion, especially if they felt pressured, have had previous abortions, or had prior mental health concerns. No matter your experience, you are not alone and deserve support.

8-Week Group Program

Options Clinic offers an 8-week post-abortion recovery program held in a small group format. This structured program allows women to talk through their experiences, address unresolved emotions, and begin the healing process alongside others who are in their shoes and can relate.

The group setting provides confidentiality and respect. Participation is voluntary, and you are not required to share more than you are comfortable discussing.

If individual counseling or outside referrals are needed, our staff can help connect you with appropriate resources.

You Do Not Have to Carry This Alone
