The grief of infertility is largely not acknowledged or spoken about. Not only is this NOT what you wanted, but now you have to figure out how to cope, grieve and navigate what's next.
I've been where you are, if I'm honest, though this is where you landed ... you likely aren't ready to wave a "I'm infertile" or "CNBC" flag yet. I get that, that's why I created this support circle for you.
A safe space to show up as you are, with your experiences, with your losses, with your grief, with your exhaustion, isolation and anger. This group also has a Facebook community to join to connect with others like you - who understand this pain. I hope you find comfort with others who validate you but also build a community for support, for whatever comes next.
If you are deep in grief and are feeling alone or just really misunderstood, this support circle is for you.
- Have you been looking for a space that feels safe to help process the grief of infertility and what the future looks like?
- If you are in the place of having to stop treatment, knowing you cannot keep trying to conceive physically or mentally, or you are deeply grieving the possibility of a childless future.
