Terminating an unplanned pregnancy is often an unacknowledged trauma due to silence and lack of support. The process is too much, too soon and too fast. Numbing of emotions is a normal reaction that provides emotional safety for the moment. Yet, the suppressed experiences create consequences over time as they cry out to be felt more fully and within supportive relationships.

The poignant stories within this book are intended to embrace you and remind you that you are not alone. You are invited to go at your own pace and use the prompts for writing and reflection while facing what lingers from that pivotal choice with self-compassion. Your journey through the canyon of silence will be a reclamation, a process of mending fractures and integrating all that is discovered. New possibilities open when emotional movement is restored.
