Table for Two: Life After Infertility

One thing that all infertile people/couples share is the overwhelming desire to have a family and the crippling heartbreak of realizing how hard that journey can be. Infertility can silence dreams, dash hopes, challenge your faith, and drive a wedge between two people who only wanted to bring a new life into the world. Trying to get pregnant or stay pregnant absolutely consumes your life. Arriving at the decision to stop trying to get or stay pregnant is just as unique and personal as your decision to start trying in the first place. You thought you had your life figured out. Being a mom and raising your kids was what you were meant for. Now what are you supposed to do? Who are you supposed to be? What will your relationship with your spouse be like? What now? My hope is that you find some comfort and answers to those questions in the pages that follow. I’m going to share our story because that’s what I know. And my husband is going to share his perspective too. Neither one of us are doctors or therapists. We are simply a couple that have navigated a horribly bumpy road together. We figured out how to ride the waves of grief and want to help make what happens next a little easier for anyone that wants to listen. If you are a couple that has decided to hop off the interfertility roller coaster, I hope you will gain some knowledge about what to expect… when you aren’t expecting a baby. If you know someone who is experiencing infertility, you will learn about what your friends or loved ones might be going through and how you can consider supporting them in a more meaningful way. The good news is that it gets easier with time. You really can have a life you love without being a parent. We are proof. And if we can do it, so can you. — ASIN: B0DJ1W37BM | ISBN13: 9798338602232 | ISBN-13: 979-8338602232
