Does the feeling ever go away?

I had a medical abortion in Feb this year. It was 100% the right decision for us as a family but still the hardest decision we have had to make.

I still know my due date and there are some weeks where I will work out how far along I would have been. Some days I feel such guilt and sadness but it’s not one of regret. I’m not sure what it is?

Other days I don’t think of it at all.

Does anyone else feel like this?

Hi OP, I'm scared I will feel like this. I'm trying to tell myself that I have my reasons and they are valid.

Be kind to yourself.

I'm going through very similar, I cant offer any words of wisdom unfortunately but I couldn't skip over the post. I hope you're okay, sending love x

You won't forget it but yes it will get easier. Let yourself feel sad. Maybe plan on doing something special on the due date to honour the decision.
