After Abortion: No Cry Zone!

Glamour Magazine courageously offered a recent article (February '09) that will be the catalyst, I believe, for revolutionizing the way women process their choice decisions. You can read the article titled, "Abortion: The Serious Health Decision Women Aren't Talking About Until Now" here: Abortion: The Serious Health Decision Women Aren’t Talking About Until Nowhttp://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/2009/02/the-serious-health-decision-women-arent-talking-about-until-now FINALLY! Women are able to talk about the grief they feel over an abortion loss.

As someone who made a choice in a difficult situation, I know the pain of “not being allowed to grieve” my loss. The grief is there but we do not give ourselves permission to “go there.” There is no public venue for grieving. This type of grief is called disenfranchised grief.

Disenfranchised grief is what women who choose "vpt" are feeling about their decision. I am creating a resource to help women specifically with disenfranchised grief and abortion loss. This is the first book of its kind and I hope it will help many women process and resolve their voluntary pregnancy termination. The book is PUBLISHED NOW!!! Go to www.missingpieces.org and choose Pressroom to read about it. :)
