It is okay to feel lost. Sometimes, you just don’t know what to do, feel a bit paralyzed.
It is okay to feel lost before, during, or after your abortion. Listen tot that and other feelings. And realize that getting pregnant unintentionally can happen to everyone and that it’s not something bad. Just as choosing for an abortion is normal choice. Maybe it will take you weeks or months or even years to sort through all your feelings. It is okay, Its okay if you feel lost in life right now, whatever the reason. Trust the process and believe in your strength.
To help you feel less alone and lonely, there are programs led by women who are trained on this topic. Or there are support groups with others who have had an abortion. For example:
- The Humanistisch Verbond is organising discussion groups guided by professionals for people who had an abortion (in Dutch)
- FIOM is organizing discussion groups guided by professionals for people who had an abortion (in Dutch)
- Private Facebook groups with people who had an abortion (e.g., Abortus community, Abortus nazorg community, etc.) (in Dutch)
- Abortion buddy an initiative that provides you with a volunteer that supports you at the abortion clinic (in Dutch)
