Me and my boyfriend decided that we couldn't afford a kid, so I went ahead with an abortion. It's been 2 days and I'm still finding myself crying about it. My boyfriend is also very sad about it. I keep wondering if I will ever forgive myself...I was just trying to do the responsible thing.

Here is a link to an article from PsychCentral's archives on the topic of abortion, grief & the recovery process.. Perhaps it may be of some help:

I wish you well...

Hi annxo. Sorry for the sadness you feel. It was a difficult decision but it may have been more difficult further down the road if you could not handle a child. You made a mature decision to prevent the difficult situation.

What grief and loss resources have you considered pursuing?

Here are some articles that might be of interest.
