18 months ago I had an abortion. I am married with two boys, my oldest is 10 and my youngest is 8.  I got pregnant accidentally and I decided too quickly that I did not want to have another baby. I made a mistake. I should have thought about it longer. I decided too quickly and now I can not forgive myself or forget about what I did. I am almost 40 and I didn't want to have another baby. I need some way to forgive myself and my husband.  I can not deal with this guilt for the rest of my life.

Hi Sad,

You did what you thought was needed at the time.  

Find someone to talk to, a counselor or therapist if possible.  You need to grieve about this.  Will your husband go with you?  He may not want to admit his feelings either.

Don't let it gnaw at you.  Get someone to talk to now.

Hi Suffer,

Please find someone to talk to. If not a counselor or therapist, your priest or minister.

Don't suffer in silence. You don't have to.
