A Safe Place to Begin Healing After Abortion
Healing after an abortion looks different for everyone. Some people feel sadness, guilt, or grief right away. Others experience numbness, anger, confusion, or even relief at first, only to notice emotions resurface later.
There is no “right” way to feel, and there is no timeline for healing. At Lighthouse, you will be met with compassion, respect, and understanding as you begin processing your experience at your own pace.
Our post-abortion support is designed to provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment or criticism. You don’t need to know exactly what you’re feeling or how to explain it. We are here to listen.
Post-Abortion Support Services
Lighthouse offers a variety of support options for those impacted by abortion, including:
- One-on-one peer counseling
- Support groups
- Referrals for professional counseling when needed
- A private environment to express grief, questions, or unresolved emotions
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. We move at your pace, honoring your story and your needs.
Understanding Post-Abortion Emotions
Emotional responses after abortion can surface days, months, or even years later. You may experience:
- A sense of loss or emptiness
- Anxiety or depression
- Grief or unresolved sadness
These feelings are more common than many people realize, and you are not alone. Lighthouse provides confidential post-abortion support to help you process what you’ve been through and move toward peace and emotional healing.
Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)
If you have taken the first abortion pill (mifepristone) and are having second thoughts, there may be a limited window of time to explore abortion pill reversal (APR). APR is a protocol that aims to counteract the effects of mifepristone by administering progesterone under medical supervision.
Timing is critical, and APR may not be effective in every situation. Lighthouse can provide information and referrals so you can quickly connect with medical professionals who can explain whether APR may be an option for you.
You can also contact the Abortion Pill Rescue Network’s 24/7 Helpline at 1-877-558-0333 to find a provider near you. Don’t delay! You may still be able to continue your pregnancy.
