I think that I am finally ready. Ready to tell our stories of loss and resilience. Our story of hopes and dreams, and of tears and emptiness. Ever since our 5th miscarriage this past April 2017, I have been praying and searching for the purpose behind it and for what to do with our story. And that’s why I’ve decided to start this blog. It’s something that I am honestly scared shitless to do – afraid to share our struggles with the world because we’ve held them so close for the past three and a half years. But I know we are not alone. We are among a group of couples who often cry over a death that no one knew about. We are among a group of couples who are silently battling infertility and are just waiting for that day when their dream to build their family becomes reality. I know that I don’t speak for everyone, but I want to tell our story in the hopes that it might help even just one other person not feel so alone, to give them hope and tools to build their resiliency and to press on.
I plan to use this space twofold – to share our story and my experiences, which I know are not fully unique to just my husband and myself; and to provide resources (books, podcasts, articles, quotes) that I have found helpful in my resiliency journey. We all have a story to tell, and I am ready to tell mine.
