Episode Description
Michaelene and Skyler will discuss how unhealthy behaviors can sometimes surface or grow when dealing with grief from abortion. In previous episodes the point was made that there are a full range of emotions that can be felt by someone grieving a loss due to abortion, and that any emotion felt is valid and normal. Sometimes, however, feelings can arise that lead to behaviors which are harmful to the hurting man or woman. Michaelene and Skyler will discuss the importance of getting proper help, as well as provide a safe place tip on what to do when someone you know is displaying unhealthy behavior.
