You don't have to know why you're here. You don't have to have the words yet.
There was a version of me that sat where you might be sitting right now.
I knew something was wrong — with me, with my choices, with the story I'd been handed — and I didn't have anyone to tell. I carried my own abortion alone for years. I carried the weight of how I was conceived for even longer. I thought those things made me unworthy of a different story.
They didn't. And whatever you're carrying — it doesn't make you unworthy either.
Anne's story isn't one of perfect healing or tidy resolution. It's a story of grace reaching into the broken places and refusing to let go. That's what she wants to share with you, if you'll let her.
You are not defined by what happened to you. You are not defined by what you chose. You are loved, and you are not alone.
There is no circumstance that puts your child outside the reach of love — or you outside the reach of support. You don't have to make this choice alone.
Healing is real. Shame does not have to be permanent. Anne has been here, and she is not here to judge you.
Your experience matters. Your story matters. And the life that may have come from it — if it did — is not a reminder of what was done to you. It is its own person, loved completely.
These are vetted organizations Anne trusts. If you're not sure where to begin, start here.

Pregnancy support, worldwide

These are not affiliates — they are organizations Anne personally recommends. She has no financial relationship with any of them.
If you want to share your story, ask a question, or simply say you were here — I want to hear from you. This is not a team inbox — it's me.
