11/22/2019 0 Comments CommunityO God, we pray this day: for all who have a song they cannot sing... Infertility is hard. There are fluctuating hormones, times of wondering and waiting, unwanted periods, cancelled treatment cycles, failed treatment cycles, and searing loss. One of my friends said it well: it's simply not fair.
It's not fair, and yet some of us will have to walk this journey. I am so grateful that I am not walking my fertility path alone and have found a community of women who 'get it' - who can celebrate together, commiserate together, and console one another. As we gathered together last night there was a heaviness among us and the tears flowed. It is such a relief to have a place where we can show up exactly as we are and trust that we will be held. It is a gift to have found a community that has deep reverence for the strength found in vulnerability. This community of fertility sisters has been a beautiful reminder of just how much we need one another in this journey called life. At the close of yesterday, my partner and I lit candles for these amazing women and held them in the Light as we offered up words of intercession. I pray that all people everywhere will feel companioned and held. I offer a special prayer for all who are walking the often lonely path of infertility.
