Hellen,

Welcome to the board. I know that your going through a really tough time right now. Thank you for sharing your experience in hopes that others will be helped.
When we seek forgiveness and forgive ourselves we can move past the pain and help others who are on the same journey. That is where the healing begins, in helping others.
If you haven't already done so, you should go to www.afterabortion.com. There are plenty of women on this site who have experienced PASS.
If you ever need someone to talk to, please feel free to email me any time.
God Bless,
Lori

Hi, bellen,

I didn't see your message right away. I am so glad you came!

Of course you are thinking of your baby! My heart goes out to you. I appreciate the fact you are sharing this with all of us. Oh, how I wish I could talk to every woman while she still has a choice! Above all, a woman should listen to her heart. She has to live with the consequences. You are lucky you have a man who shares the grief you are experiencing.

Forgiving yourself is hard, but a woman can do this. Above all, forgiveness is a decision, not an emotion. You may not want to forgive yourself, but you can choose to accept the situation and your part in it, and go on from here. There will be things you can do as a result of your new insight. It is so wonderful that already you are reaching out to others. This will help more than anything else.

I hope and pray you will be able to go on from here and experience peace.

Hugs,
Pat
