I know it wasn't. Andie is right - its realistic - and that's good. But it's still sad.
Sometimes pretending its just going to happen helps.
I really am scared its not going to I just want a little one to call my own. I feel empty and pointless. And I guess that's the whole point of the article.... What happens with all this emotion - how do we reconcile it all and what do we do with it all. I sometimes wish I could go somewhere and we could all cry together - like people do at a funeral - they are not grieving alone. But we do.
That's the thing. People who aren't successful just fade away because no one wants to hear about it. No one wants to hear about the grief, the loss, the overwhelming sense of failure, the fear...They don't get it.
People who are currently doing ivf don't want to hear about it either because it's too real. Everyone's meant to be positive. 'It will happen' they say. Well it didnt for me, and I have to come to terms with that.
