Dear Safe Haven,

I have found so much solace & comfort from God here today. I have been experiencing extreme depression, guilt & anxiety lately on the 20th anniversary of my abortion. The feelings have been crowding in on me & I didn't really know what was wrong. I guess I knew what it might be and somehow I found myself at your website.

The Lord has blessed me with the two sweetest, most precious, loving children in the world. They and their father are everything to me. The fact of my abortion has bothered me more since having them and seeing what my other child would have been like. I didn't know then that a child is God's greatest blessing and what the love of a child was. All these years I don't think I have ever really faced what I feel and that is that I ended the life of my child. I ask Jesus' forgiveness and his mercy on me and on my unborn child and on my beautiful children.

I would strongly advise anyone who is pregnant not to have an abortion-for your own sake as well as your unborn child's. The sorrow & guilt can get to you in ways you can't imagine.

Thank you for being here today, Safe Haven. I am glad I found you.
