It's a very emotional experience by itself, then compound that with the hormonal shifts and stigma and you've got potential for a serious depressive episode. For now, just be there for her and keep an eye on her, and if her mood doesn't brighten in the next few weeks help her find a professional to talk to.

there is nothing you really can do. Most people don't understand and MD's will never tell you what emotional damage an abortion really does. She will probably always "suffer" the effects of this. All you can do is be there for her, listen to her if she cries and be her friend. Let all know that everyone makes mistakes and that you don't think any less of her. She may need therapy.
