Hannah's Hope Chapter Thirteen

I have definitely been through and continue to go through the grieving process. It's one step forward and two steps back. I think one of the hardest things about infertility in any form is it's lack of closure. When you grieve a person, you begin at one point, usually sickness and/or death, and process until it's done. People only die once. With infertility, especially as a woman, you might go through the grieving process each month. How utterly exhausting! It makes me feel good to know that not only is it human to grieve, but it's biblical as well. Jesus wept for Lazarus. He shows us that it is okay for Christians to show hurt. We just need to remember, even in our grief, that we have the ultimate hope in our Lord. I think many people are uncomfortable with grief in others. They don't know how to respond to it and usually end up saying the first thing that enters their minds, which often seems to result in a case of foot-in-the-mouth disorder. I truly cannot believe some of the thoughtless things people say.
