Perhaps you learned that an abortion is a simple procedure involving no emotional aftermath. If that is so, then why do some experience grief? Some experience more emotional distress than others. Some may initially experience a sense of relief only to start grieving years later. It is tough for those who in mid life come to realize they aborted the only child they ever conceived. For others, experiencing a second abortion opens the door to a flood of grief. Not only mothers grieve their loss. Fathers may grieve the loss of their child. Grandparents may also grieve the loss of grandchildren. Siblings may grieve the loss of a sibling. Counselling provides a safe place to explore the post abortion experience whether the abortion be recent or in years past.
