I have been plagued for years with the guilt, pain and shame from my choice. Now yesterday I finally told my friend that only person I have ever told and now its hard for me to even think of seeing her again. She was very understanding and supportive I guess I am just so ashamed of what I did that I can't look her in the face. We attend the same church so I am going to see her tomorrow if I go.. I am just so confused and I feel like a giant puddle all the time.

Hello Searching, Thank you for your posting. There are so many who feel/felt like you do when they first shared; I felt that way too. Even though the other person seems to understand and is compassionate, our mind starts working overtime to convince us that their understanding was all an act. Allow me to encourage you that, most likely, your friend was sincere in her response. You are fortunate to have an friend who will listen. To fully work thru all your guilt, pain and shame I would recommend contacting a post-abortion recovery group thru www.optionline.org (there is more information here on the SafeHaven site regarding healing from an abortion). Although sharing your "secret" with total strangers may sound like the last thing you want to do, for myself and so many others it was the best decision to join a group and work thru all those feelings with others who were also ready to walk thru the healing process together. Allow me also to extend to you a personal invitation to scheduled chat. The moderators and regular "chat-tees" are very compassionate, no judgments. I moderate on Friday nites. (Please check the announcement board for changes to the chat schedule.) Being in Christ, accepting His forgiveness, we now know: Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus Romans 8:1 NIV I thank you again for sharing and pray that you find the support you are seeking as you walk this path of healing. (((searching))) Grace and peace, Lori
