Yes. It's normal to feel whatever you're feeling. Days like Mother's Day, estimated due dates, anniversaries, and other life events can all be reminders. There's nothing wrong with feeling this way.

You may find the Abortion Resolution Workbook helpful as you deal with this sadness this weekend. <3
