Frozen Tears by Margaret Irving gives an insider’s view, or rather the heart's-eye-view of abortion, the author having had hundreds of counseling sessions with women who have experienced it. She begins with the story of Julie, who, on seeing a fully pregnant woman used to get “this urge to find a knife, take it and stab her, stab her right in the belly.” She then narrates many cases of abortion related problems, like the case of Denise, for whom personal faith became a natural casualty of abortion; and the case of Megan, who goes into a slump every April, gets very depressed and cries all the time. She just recently realized that it has to do with the abortion she had eight years ago. “I get very depressed and I cry all the time and have to drag myself out of bed to go to work. The baby would have been born in April,” says Megan. There are many more such cases of challenging emotional upheaval.
Frozen Tears by Margaret Irving narrates the complex emotional turmoil an abortion always leads to, and describes the need for compassion for those who have experienced abortion. Each case is therefore presented showing clearly the aspects that need to be addressed with sympathy. The protracted and lengthy sessions Margaret conducted as a clinical social worker, in addition to showing the need for counseling at all stages of abortion, is an indicator of the commitment and sincerity of the community of social workers, of which the author forms a part. Author Margaret Irving's words opened my heart. She writes with both passion and compassion, creating a heartfelt and informative book.
