Hey, loves! Thank you for stopping by my new page, JadenLove. This project was born after a strong tugging on my heart for a few months and I finally decided to give it a go.
I wanted to be able to share my own post-abortion experience--the grief, depression, hurt, and isolation that I secretly dealt with for over 15 years, while also letting other women tell their own stories. But, I also want this to be a place where women can find hope and healing, while still feeling free to openly honor their angel babies.
One thing I learned in therapy was how to grieve for my angel baby. You're probably like, who needs help grieving?
Well, I did. I had the procedure done and then it was back to work, school, and church like I had not just gone through the most physically and emotionally demanding two days of my life. But, it caught up with me eventually in some of the worst ways.
I had no ultrasound pictures, no name, no clothes, nothing to remember my baby by. It made coping with my decision so much harder. I always had a feeling that I was having a boy so, I gave him the name Jaden. I also nicknamed him, my Jaden love, which became the inspiration for the blog name.
This has definitely been a journey that is not over yet, honestly I do not think it will ever, but I have many more good days than bad ones now. God has been good to me and I hope that my story encourages another woman recovering from the guilt, flashbacks, and shame to forgive herself and know that realize that she is worthy of healing.
Feel free to reach out to me if you want to just talk or would like to share your story at: myjadenlove@gmail.com.
Have a blessed week!
