	“Once a woman is pregnant the choice is not simply between having a baby and not having a baby. The choice is between having a baby and having the experience of abortion. Both are life changing experiences. Both have significant psychological consequences, either contributing to or hindering a persons’ mental health” - Theresa Burke
	It is time to move beyond the politics of abortion and address the emotional needs of those who struggle with feelings of grief, shame, guilt, feeling or fearing beingjudged by others - and more. Social taboos stifle discussion of abortion-related feelings. Forbidden Grief is a compelling and haunting review of Dr Theresa Burke’s experience in counselling hundreds of women after their abortions. Dr Burke exposes obstacles in the way of post-abortion healing, reviews the full range and depth of post-abortion adjustment problems, and illustrates how we can create a more understanding and healing society where women will no longer be required to hide their pain.
