I guess there's nothing like introducing the elephant in the room...after it's already crashed the party. If that doesn't make sense to you after reading this, don't worry about it--it just seemed a fitting introduction to this topic in my mind at least. :P The link below is to a very interesting, informative, and thought-provoking article about infertility and how to support couples dealing with it. It's long, so you might want to wait until you have several minutes to read it--but it's well worth the read. Although infertility truly is one of those things that you can't possibly understand unless you've been through it, this article does an amazing job of explaining how it affects people. It was good even for me to read and helped validate some of my feelings and understand how I can best support others in the future. We have been very fortunate to have the support of our friends and family and I am not pointing fingers or in any way insinuating that anyone in particular needs to read this. I just ran across it and thought it was too good not to share. Another note: please don't feel sorry for us or anyone else who has dealt or is dealing with infertility issues. Pity isn't at all helpful, but your love & support is!
