Alone

"Infertility is a loss that leads to what many professionals refer to as hidden grief. It doesn't get expressed publicly. That's because the loss brought by infertility is not as widely understood as the loss experienced when a loved one dies. Infertility is intangible, whereas death is tangible. Infertility cannot be touched or seen, so its bearers hide their sorrow, complicating their grief and prolonging their healing." 
~ Excerpt from Water from the Rock

One of the reasons I felt it important to write about our story was to encourage others that might be in the same situation that we are. I hope to provide insight to those who are friends or family of couples that struggle with infertility and may not know for themselves what that struggle entails.  


Infertility is a lonely struggle. We did not share our burden with others for some time. Even still we are often hesitant to discuss our story in fear of awkward conversations, shallow comments, and superficial remarks that would only deepen our pain. However, God has laid it on our hearts to share our story with you, and He has already blessed us with encouraging words, prayers, and insights from fellow believers. Our prayer is that you too will be blessed by these words and encouraged by Christ, who is the Word.
