I’ve been carrying the weight of a decision that has deeply affected me. I chose to have an abortion, and while I believe it was the right decision at the time, I still feel a profound sense of sorrow. There are days when I wonder what might have been, and it’s hard to put into words the mixture of emotions—grief, guilt, and relief—that I’ve felt.
I’m sorry if this choice has hurt or disappointed anyone, but most of all, I feel the need to express my sorrow . . . This has been a journey of trying to reconcile my feelings and understand myself better. I am working through this experience and trying to heal, but the pain is still there, and I just wanted to acknowledge that.
This letter should be deeply personal and reflect your own feelings. There’s no right or wrong way to express sorrow, and it’s important to give yourself permission to feel whatever emotions come up.
