You don't know me but I'm a friend of Tawnya's. Your post sounds exactly like one I wrote 2 years ago. I want you to know that nobody can say anything that will make this better or not hurt your feelings. I know that because I've been there and I've felt exactly how you feel. I had to take a step back and remind myself that what I was feeling is absolutely normal and I had every right to feel sad, angry, confused and alone. Friends and family mean well but the truth is that most of them have no idea how you feel and can't relate but they are trying. Just keep your head up and know that there are friends of friends that do understand. Email me if you ever feel like you need a shoulder or a sounding board. This too shall pass.
Unfortunately, or fortunately (I'm not sure) we know how you feel. People can be SO insensitive about it!! I don't remember if I told you what we'd tell people when the kid topic would come up, but we'd just say, "We're saving up to buy a boat" and people generally would just shut up because they didn't know what to say to that :) I think people think they're being nice and sensitive but they don't realize that there are a LOT of couples who honestly cannot have children. Keep your chin up, Kate and know that we're praying for you guys!
that sucks! I wish that I understood what you were going through better. And I know that you didn't write this post so that you could have some pity party. But I do feel bad for you. It makes me frustrated for you. I wish that I could magically make it all better for you. If you want, at 6pm tonight, my time, and 6pm your time lets break out a gallon of chocolate ice cream and heresy kisses and binge 'together'. That always makes me feel a little better. Even for a short time.
I have been through some of the same infertility issues, and we recently adopted our baby girl. Hallie is 6 months and the light of our life! I dont think we could have made a more perfect baby!:) Feel free to read my bog, maybe it can shed some light, maybe not. I know what a horrible place infertility is, but just know there is hope, and there are options... carlie thegilllife.blogspot.com
