For Friends

As a society we are not very good at caring for the bereaved.

We have a mindset that excludes death from our daily thinking. When it comes to the death of the baby in the womb (a miscarriage) we understand that there will be a time of grieving, but usually, this is a private affair. When a friend has an abortion that grief is often mixed with other emotions including relief, guilt, anger or even despair. Do not underestimate the time and care your friend will need. Also, seek help for yourself if you need it.
