Infertility or not having a child – Program to process your grief
It can be a long and painful journey for many women and men who want a child and have not fulfilled their dream. Some people have a diagnosed reason causing infertility and others are dealing with unexplained infertility. For some people age can be the issue and conceiving a child can be very difficult. Illness or other life circumstances can also be factors that result in not having a child.
This program is designed to process the grief of not having what you imaged in your life, either due to infertility or other circumstances preventing you from having a child.
The grief experienced is not dependent on the length of the journey. You may have found out months ago that having a child is not an option or you may have tried for over 10 years to fall pregnant. This does not mean your grief is any more or less severe than someone else. Your grief is yours and it is valid. Your desire to have a baby is significant and important. Your pain and hurt has meaning and it deserves to be attended to.
Everyone is different and everyone processes pain differently. It is very difficult to find out you can’t ever fall pregnant. The reality is that there are many hopes and expectations associated with wanting a family and finding out that this is not possible for you can be extremely devastating. For some, it can be a very lengthy journey trying to fall pregnant without success. The longer the trying for a child continues the further hopes and expectations grow and develop. You can feel constant disappointment each month when there is no pregnancy and the pain can feel very overwhelming.
Grief can be extremely deep regardless of whether you are a man or a woman. Not being able to have your child is a painful loss. You may be asking questions such as, “Why me? What is wrong?” You may feel cursed, unlucky or punished.
Infertility or Not Having a Child is a program that will provide you with guided steps through a therapy based approach all aimed to assist you in processing this pain.
