Is every baby or pregnant belly painful to see?
Do you cringe every time someone asks if you have children? Feel out of place in social situations where conversation seems to focus on kids? Dread visiting friends and family who all seem to be having children so easily?
If only it were always that easy. If only we tried one more thing. If only it worked this time. If only.
Infertility is a painful, lonely journey. It is hard to understand the depth of longing and the pain of repeated disappointments if you haven’t been there. Most friends and family are well meaning, but don’t really know how to support loved ones going through infertility. You are looking for someone who will stick with you even when you want to talk about it over and over. For hope that you can build a fulfilling life no matter what happens.
“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
– Maya Angelou
