Dear Soafaloaf,

You are not alone. I had an abortion about 20 years ago. I was plagued with feelings of regret and sadness for many years. I, too thought about getting pregnant again but I knew that another child would never replace my first pregnancy. I decided to seek counseling about 5 years after my decision.

Over time and with help, I forgave myself. I realized that at the time, I thought I was making the right decision at the time.  I hope you find what you need to feel at peace and whole. Sending you love and light,
