I’m 31 years old,and I was 11 weeks pregnant when I had my abortion. I began the study a week after my abortion. At that moment, I was battling many emotions which I did not know how to process. I really did not know who to express my feelings with and I felt alone. My family wanted me to rush my feelings, which was something I just could not do. My friends were there, but I felt they could not grasp my hurt. When I joined the study, my counselor was able to provide guidance. I no longer felt alone. I was able to process my emotions and learn about God’s love for me and His forgiveness. Many times we all suppress our emotions, and wear a mask (showing that you’re okay)when you’re actually hurting. That mask was able to be dropped down and I was able to express how I was feeling and learning through each chapter.
