Had a termination?

 

 

Although a termination is something a woman may have chosen for various reasons at a difficult time in her life, it may still be an extremely painful emotional experience for her afterwards, even if it was a long time ago.

Many women find it difficult to understand why they feel the way they do. Partners may not seem to understand; tension rises. Relationships break down. Life can seem overwhelming.

These symptoms can surface even years after the termination:

• Depression
• Recurrent dreams of termination or the unborn child
• Feelings of guilt and remorse
• A sense of emptiness and loss
• Relationship difficulties
• Anger and rage at husband, partner, family, friends or even other children
• Eating disorders, alcohol or drug abuse
• Feelings of helplessness and isolation
• Low self-worth
• Emotional numbness
