I've talked about my infertility a few times. I am so thankful for the two boys God has given me. I have been called crazy for longing for more children and for feeling the ache of an empty womb. 8+ years of infertility is painful. To the woman who holds no child in her arms....I cry with you. I wish I could sit and listen to your heart. Know you are cared about and loved.
I won't make this long and drawn out. Tell a joke, pull a funny, trick everyone you know, but leave the fake pregnancy announcement for NEVER. For some, it's painful to see and really just plain hurts.
Just two cents from someone who cares and who can even relate with the pain.
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
Ephesians 4:32

Hello there! I’m Jennifer and Welcome to my website – A Home with Purpose. My passion is sharing Christ’s Love and recipes with my Trim Healthy Mama friends. Learn more about me.
Thank you, Jennifer, for this post. I am one of those childless women and I also cry with you. I know God’s plan are bigger than me, but the pain is real and He comforts us in it.
Thank you for saying this. Although I have a house full of kiddos, I can no longer have anymore and that breaks my heart. My heart hurts for my friends that struggle with infertility! I can’t imagine their pain.
Thanks for writing this. I also cry with you. 7+ years of infertility with one pregnancy ending in miscarriage this January. I have never liked those jokes.
It’s said others find this funny. If they only knew the pain we feel. I have a 14yo. But we have struggled with infertility for 12yrs now. 3yrs ago we got our little miracle. Sadly we lost her to anencephaly. I hope others will see the pain and stop doing this and saying to get over it because I have a child.
Hugs to you!
