At Some Point

Closing out the topic of grief, for now, but as this quote says, we will never really put it completely away.

Because grief is the thing that underlies all of the work that we do.

Grief about the lost expectations of what your life was "supposed to" look like.

Grief of a lost child.
Grief of a baby that you desperately wanted.
Grief of a baby you were carrying for 9 months whose heart stopped beating.
Grief of having to terminate a very wanted pregnancy because of medical reasons.
Grief of delivering a perfect baby who died a few months later from SIDS.
Grief of being unable to have a baby because of vaginismus or the inability to ejaculate.
Grief about seeing your period come every single month instead of a positive pregnancy test.
Grief of having that treatment cycle failing.
Grief about not being able to afford fertility treatments.
Grief of being unable to get pregnant because of a chronic medical or mental health concern.
Grief about finding out that you will never be able to carry your own child.
Grief knowing that you will need to use someone else's egg, sperm, and/or embryo.
Grief realizing that you are going to have to freeze your eggs.
Grief of coming to terms with the fact that you might have to consider being a single parent.
Grief that your adoption plans fell through.

Grief that you may never have a child.

We are here for all of it.
