Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS)– A Form of PTSD

Post-abortion syndrome…
is a term you may hear…
as we wonder the behavior…
of some we love dear.
For abortions are kept secret…
so others will not know…
but changes in behavior…
may be something that show.
For post-abortion syndrome…
is a form of post-traumatic stress…
affecting many having abortions…
who silently deal with the rest.
For though abortion is final…
and the baby is now gone…
the deep feelings of loss…
will one day be known.
With emotional changes…
mixed with fear and regret…
and swings in temperament…
claiming things they “forget”.
With feelings of brokenness…
mixed with guilt and disgrace…
then holding onto someone…
like love needing to be replaced.
But the feeling of loss…
can’t be replaced by any man…
for only God can bring this healing…
to the depths many don’t understand.
For these wounds are severe…
to the depths of their very being…
and many don’t even realize their loss…
until they cry out to God for their healing.

And binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
