Anonymous, It hurts my heart to hear what you have been through. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to carry that burden with you. I just want to encourage you. I know I don’t know your full story, but I know that Jesus says that His “yoke is easy and His burden is light.” I hope you find comfort in the fact that you are not alone and that He wants to carry your burden. I am by no means perfect, and I have no right to judge ANYONE because God has carried my own fair share of regrets. The memories might not fully dissipate, but I can promise that your life will be full. Many blessings and prayers… And, thank you so much for sharing…

Wow. This brought me to tears.. This is my story times 2. My heart really goes out to you and its true. We always wonder about the what ifs. I do every night when I look at my niece who would be the same age and nephew. Thank you.

I think…I’m so glad when people share these stories. I KNOW I did the right thing but it took years to get over it. I’d have a 6 year old now. Six. Holy shit.

And it’s like, I’ll never be able to say I’m not a mom. I am…I just…killed my baby.

I don’t know. I think it’s important to share these stories. We shouldn’t be ashamed for making the right choices for our lives but there’s still a stigma, you know.

Dear anonymous,

Thank you for your story. I found it by chance, but it really touched my heart. My mother had a similar experience, and still remembers the child she would have had before me. When people rail against abortion, this is the side of the story that is drowned out, and it needs to be heard and understood.

I’m holding you in my prayers. Thank you for having the courage to share your experience.

Time does make it better. I no longer remember when the due date would have been. I know what time of year I was pregnant and how old I was, so I could recalculate, but why? To torture myself? Not necessary. What’s done is done. And it was the right choice for me at the time. I have had 2 wonderful children. When the time was right for me. I too had plans for my life, and couldn’t imagine myself telling anyone but my boyfriend. I think my child would be around 27 now. I’m gauging that on a friend’s child’s age, who chose to keep hers. My friend still hasn’t achieved her goals. But her daughter is a beautiful woman now. Even so, I still think I made the right choice for me. But it doesn’t mean I don’t think “what if?” sometimes. Good luck to you anonymous! You’re very strong to have handled this on your own. Please good to yourself through the years over your decision.
