Infertility is isolating. It is painful. It is full of heartache and disappointment and bitterness. It is all consuming – emotionally and physically. You can’t get away from the pain. The struggle is fresh and raw each and every month.
Yet, above all of the emptiness and hurt — a persistent, unrelenting spirit of hope remains.
Hope that this is going to be “the” month. Hope that this new doctor, this new test, this new procedure, this new medicine will finally work.
How can you be a good friend to someone walking through the valley of infertility? To continue reading this post, I’m over HERE today writing for the series, “Together Through Pain“…

Oh my gosh this post spoke directly to my heart. Thank you so much for putting it out there. I've lost a friendship partly over their inability to understand the struggle and personal hell we inferty's go through, so I truly appreciate this. 🙂 As always, prayers for you and your family…especially baby girl S.

Tienna, I'm so sorry you have had to walk the hard, hard road of infertility. I'm so glad to hear that these words were of some comfort. I know that it is so easy for friends to misinterpret your pain and not understand what you're going through. I'm praying for you, friend!!!!!!!

This hit home, we are currently going through the struggles of infertility and it is the hardest thing The Lord has ever placed in our path. Thank you for speaking truth.
