So my best friend told me yesterday that she had an abortion about a week ago. She came to me crying and wanting comfort. I was taking back by this news because it was so unexpected. Long story short she got pregnant by a friends with benefits. She wanted to keep it but the guy kept insisting on aborting it. He kept pressing her and my friend being a sensitive person she went thru with it. Now she’s coming to me with the feeling of guilt. She says that she feels bad and she regrets what she did and feels bad that she didn’t stand her ground. She says she feels so alone.

I asked her why she didn’t come to me for advice or just to talk I told her that she knows I’m always here for her and she said “I felt like I didn’t deserve you. I felt like I did such a bad thing that I deserved to be alone”. This made me so sad because I feel no one should ever feel like they deserve to be alone. I tried my best to comfort her but I didn’t know much I can say. I pretty much just told her that I’m always here for her and that having an abortion doesn’t make u a bad person. I told her that I’m sorry that she had to go thru this and the only thing to do now is just let time heal her heart. But I just didn’t know what else to say or do. I’m planning on visiting her tomorrow and I plan on taking her flowers to show that I’m here and to cheer her up.

Any women who went thru what she’s going thru please share some advice. Or any women who was in my shoes share any advice for being there for my friend.
