Dear kc,

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad you found us here. It's really important that you find a way to heal from the hurt/loss/pain. There are many suggestions I've heard over the years - and what works for one person, may be different from what works for you. A really good resource is this website:

http://www.optionline.org/hadabortion.html

They have centers around the USA and you can check to find one close to you. If there's not one close, you can call the 1-800 number or email them. Many of their centers offer FREE Post-Abortion counseling, and that would be really good for you to work through.

It is critical to your other children's well being that you find emotional healing from the experience.

I'm sorry your partner is not talking about it, but typically that's the way guys are about most "big" issues. He just doesn't know how to express the way he feels. Your emotions also go through all the "grief/loss" stages - anger, sorrow, denial, etc. This is a good website about grief/loss.

I hope that helps, please please call or email or go to a center for the FREE post-abortion counseling.

Hugs,Kris
