It was the right decisionā¦ but that didnāt make it any easier.
ā
This is a line from my story, one I never imagined Iād share so publicly. But after years of carrying the weight of silence, shame, and stigma, Iāve learned that stories heal.
ā
My abortion experience shaped me in ways I never expected. It cracked me open. It taught me compassion. It taught me to sit with pain. And eventually, it became the very reason I now hold space for other women walking this complex, tender path.
ā
My story is published in Birth New, a collection of empowering birthing experiences, including those that donāt always follow the narrative weāre taught to expect.
ā
If youāve had an abortion and felt alone, judged, confused, or silencedā¦ I see you.
Whether it was your first pregnancy or your fourth. Whether you feel peace or pain. Whether it was recent or decades ago. You deserve a space to be heard, without justification, explanation, or shame.
ā
Iāve created that space because I needed it once too.
And now I offer it to you.
