My wife kept a journal of hurtful things said to her while we were trying
We went through a three year infertility journey
Something we never anticipated
Something we werenât equipped for
Something that broke us down, completely
A daily struggle and a monthly reminder of ânot againâ
That season pushed us to the limit of our faith and sanity
Some people were helpful
Some people werenât helpful at all
Some people didnât know how to help
Our story ended with two beautiful boys, but thatâs not how it always ends
What you say matters
The language you use, the words you speak
You most likely know someone fighting this battle today
Itâs lonely. Itâs confusing. Itâs scary.
My wife kept a journal of hurtful things said to her while we were trying
So she could always remember how to enter into otherâs infertility journey in a helpful way
Be gentle out there
