Christmas is always focused on happy families and children, but for many infertile people it is a painful time and a constant reminder of their childlessness. Marketing for occasions like birthdays and Christmas is always geared toward advertising showing excited children tearing open their presents and throwing their arms around their parents, or being cosied up on the sofa reading a book or sharing something special and magical, the image they portray always excludes anyone who can't have kids.
The guest on this video speaks of infertility so eloquently. Not so sure I agree with her views on being totally dependent on god, but hey... each to their own.

I cried when she described her inability to bear children as the "death of a dream". For every miscarriage that I have experienced, it has been the death of a dream and I will always feel the loss of not knowing what each of those little babies would have looked like or the personalities they would have had, or the goodness that they would have been able to bestow to the world.
Thinking of all you beautiful women out there who are without a precious little life to hold this Christmas.
Take care xo
