Ever heard the saying, “The first step is the hardest?”
It’s not always true, but it definitely can be.
If you’re reading this, I’m willing to bet that you’ve been wanting to heal from your abortion for a while now. But maybe you don’t know where to start. It feels overwhelming, right? Like there’s so much to face, and you have no idea how to tackle it all.
In this post, I’m going to help you understand exactly what the first step to healing looks like — and how you can take it today.
My Story of Overwhelm and Small Steps
I used to be kind of a hoarder — not officially diagnosed or anything — but I had a really hard time letting go of things. My house would get cluttered, and during a depression cycle, it would spiral even more. Laundry would pile up, dishes would sit in the sink for days, and I felt like I was drowning in my own home.
I knew I needed to do something about it, but the problem was…I had no idea where to start.
In my mind, I thought I had to clean the entire house in one go. I felt like if I couldn’t fix everything all at once, it wasn’t even worth trying. So, instead of making progress, I stayed stuck. Overwhelmed. Hopeless.
Isn’t that how we often feel about healing from our abortion?
There’s so much pain, so much guilt, and so much shame that it feels impossible to even begin. The idea of “healing” seems so massive that we don’t even know where to start — so we stay stuck.
The First Step to Healing
When I finally decided to get my house back in order, I realized I couldn’t fix it all overnight. I had to start small.
I committed to creating a better environment for myself and my family — and I took it one step at a time. I’d do one load of laundry, clean one room, and slowly but surely, things started to shift.
Healing from your abortion is the same way.
Yes, it feels daunting. Yes, it seems impossible. But it’s not.
The very first step you need to take is to commit.
➡️ Commit to healing.
➡️ Commit to partnering with God in this process.
You don’t need to have all the answers right now. You don’t need to know how it will all unfold. You just need to decide that you’re going to heal — and invite God into that decision.
Understand that healing is a process — it won’t happen overnight. But by committing, you are opening the door for God to work in your heart, layer by layer.
