Hope & Encouragement

I was thinking of you ladies the other day and ran across a journal entry I wrote a few years ago (2008). I have to say my life has changed a lot since then but I know that this will inspire those TTC not to give up. Those suffering that its ok to grieve, and those who just need a little support....


Sometimes its so easy getting caught up in the TTC game that we forget who we really are. Were women, but not just any women; were strong, and hopeful women. Women who know what its like to suffer, to loose, and to have hopes and dreams. Were wives,
daughters, sisters, aunts, friends and mothers. It doesn't matter how long our roads have been or how rough. Because this road has brought us to the place we are now. What I mean by this is that life may not always make sense, we may not always understand everything but at some point in the future all of us will look back and realize that were stronger in our marriages, our lives, our faith, and ourselves because we've been here. I know that some people don't believe in God, or have faith things will work out. As horrible as it sounds we've all been there. We've all asked why? We've wondered what should have been. I believe that this is just something we have to go through in life. Our lives are already mapped out for us, a book of many pages. Our fertility is just a chapter in our lives. We may not know what tomorrow holds but we should make the most of today. I believe that whether your infertility lasts days, weeks, months or even years we should remember our infertility doesn't make or break us it helps us to understand the women we've become the women we will be. God bless~

    I really needed to read this! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I'm at a point now that I've mostly accepted that having children is not in my hands whatsoever. Now I'm only focused on being as healthy as I can. If it's meant to happen, it can only improve our chances.

    Thanks for sharing this, it's really easy to forget about life trying to obtain something which is completely out of your hands.

    This certainly was encouraging and a nice reminder. I tell myself that it is in God's hands but do I really believe it? Thanks so much!

    Thanks so much for sharing your journal entry. It's been a month since I delivered my angel son at 16 weeks and I've been having a rough time dealing. I have just started back up tracking my intake and getting back into my prepregnancy fitness routine and some days I just wonder why. Your entry made me remember that I need to be healthy for me first- and whatever should happen with getting pregnant will happen if it's in Gods plan. Either way I need to treat my body and my health with respect in order to live the best life possible.
    Its funny how these little things like coming across your entry or getting random encouragement from strangers comes at a time when you really need it. Makes me believe that there are angels down here rooting for us alongside those in heaven.

    Thanks again... I can't say that enough. :flowerforyou:
