Grief

Grief is never simple.  There are days when you are confident that you’re fine and that you’ve conquered your emotions. But the truth is… infertility will change you.  Your grief doesn’t signify weakness nor does it suggest there’s something wrong with you.  The reality is, you never truly get over the emotions that come with infertility.

Don’t get me wrong… after 8 years, I have been able to move mountains, both mentally and emotionally.  However, there are some days when I can’t help but imagine what life would have looked like without the infertility struggle?  Without the angst, the excessive sobbing and even the feelings of resentment.  Then there are days when I actually feel blessed to truly know and understand what it takes to really fight and conquer.  Crazy right?
