In that time, more than 30 million women have had one or more abortions.While the political battle rages, little has been done to address the emotional needs of those who struggle with the aftermath of an experience that is deeply traumatic and often coerced and unwanted. Instead, social taboos stifle discussion of abortionrelated feelings. Women are left feeling isolated, and their recovery is inhibited.Forbidden Grief is a compelling, haunting review of Dr. Theresa Burkes experience in counseling hundreds of women who have experienced abortion. Dr. Burke exposes the obstacles in the way of postabortion healing, reviews the full range and depth of postabortion issues, and illustrates how we can create a more understanding, just and healing society where women will no longer be required to hide their pain.
