You may be feeling shock,

disappointment,

embarrassment

concern for her future

It is important for you to be able to process this yourself in an effective manner. Remember, take time to find someone to talk with about your feelings, so you are better equipped to deal with the situation. Things said in the heat of the moment may be regretted later on, so err on the side of caution and focus your dialogue on the immediate challenges.

What can you do to help her?

• LISTEN -  listen to her concerns & fears.
• ENCOURAGE -  her to come into the Pregnancy Resource Centre and speak with someone who can help her make a plan.
• BE SUPPORTIVE  - remind her that you still love her and will be there for her, that the world is not over it’s just taken an unexpected detour and you can be a part of helping her back on course.
• REMEMBER -  that it’s HER decision to make and that she will be the one that needs to live with her decision.
