42 | Stages of Grief Series Part 1: Forbidden Grief

Forbidden Grief. That’s what many women experience when they begin to grieve their abortions. When we lose a loved one, we’re often met with support—meals delivered, arms wrapped around us, prayers offered. But after an abortion? The silence is deafening. We feel like we have to grieve in secret, wearing an invisible scarlet letter on our chest, aching for the pain to go away with no one safe to turn to. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be diving into this often unspoken pain—the forbidden grief—and the stages that come with it. You are not alone. And your healing matters. So without further ado, let’s begin.   ✨ Ready to begin your healing journey?
