The Forbidden Grief
A book by Peter Barnes
You believed that in the circumstances, it was the best thing to do. Indeed, it would almost be the noble thing as it would not be fair to bring a child into this troubled world, especially not at this particular time.
You wanted to believe that an abortion would be a safe and legal minor operation—a ‘termination’, they said— and that you would soon recover and be back to normal.
But somehow something somewhere has gone wrong. It has not worked out for you in the way that you thought it would. Instead of relief, you feel a dull ache, regrets, and at times a terrible agony. The aftershocks have been far greater than you were led to believe.
