At Life, we believe that true support starts with being present; not fixing, not rushing, just listening.

Sometimes it takes months, years, or decades for the trauma of abortion to reveal itself.

This is what happened to Jenna*. 16 years after her abortion, a chat with a friend at work triggered a fleeting thought that dragged up something she thought had been long buried.

Jenna reached out to Life’s Helpline after feelings of loss, sadness and emptiness began to overwhelm her. With someone to talk to, openly and freely, Jenna no longer has to carry the weight of it alone.

Read Jenna's story 👉link in the comments.

*Name changed for privacy.

Our counsellors and skilled listeners do an incredible job of walking with women and men as they unravel and make sense of the effect that abortion has had in their lives. But we can’t do this without you.
