For many of you, these Mothers' Days while trying to conceive can be the loneliest, most demoralizing day of the year. I want to send you tons of {{hugs}} and a wish that you will become mothers soon, by whatever path you take. Honestly, I can't enjoy Mothers' Day that much anymore having experienced the pain I know it causes women who are undergoing IF treatment. Please remember that you are beautiful and complete, whether or not you have children, and when your children arrive, however they arrive, the pain will become like a dark and distant memory. But if you decide to move forward with a life without children, that life will still be valuable, and the void you feel today will be filled with your love and creativity. Wishing you all the best, Maggie (in VA) |
