You see me and you see a mother of a beautiful baby boy and a handsome preteen son. What you don’t see are my two children who are in heaven due to abortion. The difficulty of having to make the choice of not being pregnant was not easy.
With my first, I was very early into pregnancy and I was very young, so I just jumped straight into getting the procedure done. I do not recall being depressed afterwards, just exhausted, but I covered it up by working more. With the second, I wasn’t so early into the pregnancy. I was in active addiction and I didn’t have the support of someone to help me through my decision-making process. I was a complete wreck and very much scared.
After the abortions, I was extremely ashamed to talk with people about them. I didn’t want to feel judged, so I covered them up with a lie. I told everyone that I had had two miscarriages just so I didn’t have to deal with the pain of them knowing what I had done. However, what I did in the past does not define who I am today and that’s what abortion recovery taught me!
If you’re feeling afraid or feel like you’ll be shamed for having an abortion, please don’t walk, run to Daybreak for help. The experience I had working through the Abortion Recovery Bible Study taught me so much! I even got to name my "heavenly children" after first praying to God and asking Him what gender they are and their names. He told me the first is a boy and his name is Trenton and the second is a girl named May’Lana. I was able to imagine my babies in heaven, having that beautiful image in my mind rather than regret. The last day in abortion recovery ends with a memorial service to honor your child(ren).
