✨ Why Healing After an Abortion is So Important ✨
Today, I wanted to share why healing after an abortion is so crucial and why I continue to show up and speak so loudly about it.
At 17, I had an abortion. It was the day after my 17th birthday and that day is embedded in my mind for eternity. I never realized the impact my choice would have on me. No one told me the emotional toll having an abortion could have (not every woman experiences this). I silently suffered for 17 years after, feeling unworthy and undeserving of anything good in my life. My self-esteem and confidence were shattered, and I believed I wasn’t deserving of happiness.
Because of this I numbed myself, became a party girl, and really just didn't care about myself. I lacked boundaries, became a people pleaser, and couldn't regulate or express my emotions properly. I was either too clingy or pushed people away by putting up wall.
It took my a long time to realize I needed to heal from this. When I finally stepped into healing, I found my way back to myself. I regained my confidence and took back my power.
Healing is not just about overcoming the past; it’s about reclaiming your worth and finding peace within yourself. When we don’t address the pain and emotions tied to our experiences, they can weigh us down, affecting our mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
Here are a few reasons why healing is essential:
🌸 Restoring Self-Worth: Healing helps us recognize that our worth is not defined by our past choices. Every woman deserves to feel confident and valued.
🌸 Emotional Freedom: By processing our emotions, we can free ourselves from guilt, shame, and sorrow, allowing us to live more fully and joyfully.
🌸 Building Stronger Connections: Healing enables us to build healthier relationships with others and ourselves. We learn to trust and love again.
🌸 Creating a Supportive Community: When women come together to heal, we create a safe and nurturing environment where we can share our stories and support each other. There is magic and medicine in women gathering to heal.
Why I Do This Work:
I am incredibly passionate about bringing women together for tis deep healing work because I know how transformative it is. When women come together, they heal, regain their confidence, let go of unhealthy behaviors and relationships, and take back their power. I have witnessed the magic and medicine that happens in these gatherings, and it inspires me every day.
This work is vital, and I am dedicated to creating spaces where women can connect, heal, and empower each other.
I also know that this topic is incredibly divisive and also makes post abortive women not want to come forward to heal, however, when we don't allow ourselves to heal one of our deepest wounds, it festers underneath the surface and comes out in so many unhealthy ways.
So I will continue to show up for you and all the other women who are silently suffering because I truly believe healed women are going to heal this world.
With love,
Jennifer
