Amy’s Reviews > You or Someone You Love: Reflections from an Abortion Doula > Status Update

Grief is normal. Grief is important. Grief is sacred. You have the right to experience your own unique and evolving blend of emotions about your abortion(s), including grief in whatever forms it may take. Your grief belongs to you. You have the right to embrace it and express it. It’s part of your story like any other.

…you may feel many things. You may even feel them all at once, or in rapid succession, or on a delayed release, emotions appearing much later than you expected and often out of the blue. Grief does what it wants inside of a body. As does trauma. As do joy, and love, and acceptance.
