How Did Someone Help You Through Your Abortion?

What are some of the most helpful and supportive things someone said to you?

When you've decided to have an abortion you might be faced with some difficult and complicated emotions.

From the decision making, to the process itself and the aftermath - it's easy to feel like you're totally alone.

Those close to you will want to support you, but they might not always say the right thing.

Whilst others will help you talk through your decision, drive you to the clinic and provide practical advice.

Is there something a loved said that was particularly helpful or reassuring to you?

And is there something that you think people should absolutely avoid saying?
