A Way To Remember, Grieve and Love
"Through my own abortion experience I have come to realise many women feel the sameβthat it can be difficult to gain any sense of closure. There is no grave to visit, no tangible way of remembering. Until now.β - Marina Young (Founder, Buttons Project, New Zealand)
A Step Towards Healing After Abortion
An abortion affects each person differently. For many who are affected by abortion, they may find it hard to express their pain. Grieving over the loss due to an abortion is often endured in the silence of oneβs room.
At Buttons Project, we create a safe space for you to grieve by sending in a button to represent the baby whom you have not met.
Buttons Memorial Wall
Each button represents a baby we have not met due to abortion. We hope to enable anyone affected by abortion, not only women but also fathers, grandparents and siblings, to have a tangible way of commemorating these babies.
For some, it will be a way of simply remembering, for others a step on the journey of healing. Some buttons come with stories, some don't. All of them will be displayed on our virtual memorial wall.
Together we create a memorial. To remember, to grieve, to love. What happened matters.
Online Support Group
Our online support group provides a safe space for women who are hurting after abortion to find help and support in time of need.
If abortion is part of your story, we would love to have you in our Buttons community. You do not have to suffer alone in silence. We are here for you.
