Okay, so I just got this link from another sight and wanted to post it here, b/c it brought tears to my eyes. I thought it was great to share. It really tugs at the heart strings, makes us feel like we're not alone and is really quite beautiful. Anyway, here it is... :angel:

That was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It touched me because I am on the same journey. Do you think it is capable of giving others who are not in our shoes some small picture of what we are going through? My family doesn't know our journey (except for my mother). They think we have given up do to cost and what not. Sometimes I question keeping it from brothers, sister, aunts and others but it is just soooo painful when we are not successful. I can't handle all the insensitivity even though it is not intended. Please share what your thoughts are in sharing with others who are not in our shoes.

That's so beautiful and moving! What made me smile and also brought tears to my eyes was the bit about what other people say to you when they learn you are infertile - I told someone at work yesterday I was about to start IVF and she said all the thing mentioned there!

TB :wave:

Thank you so much for sharing. That was amazing. There really are others out there who have the EXACT same feelings as we do. That was incredible!

I cry now, every time I watch it...but it's true about the page of "what people say." My twin sister just asked me how I'm doing so far with all of this and what was my update so far. After telling her, she gave me the whole, "well you have to try not to stress, everybody is going through stresses right now, it's all a matter of how you handle it" speech.

So, knowing that she could never understand unless she went through it, even though we are soooo close, being that we are twins, this is something that is so hard for me to try to explain. I told her about this slide show and that I would be sending it to her. And, actually, I've just sent it to a few of my other friends who I haven't talked to about this much at all. I feel like it's too painful, becasue as close or as good as they might be as friends, they really will never truly understand unless they go through it themselves, (and 2 of them had babies so easily, so they really have no idea).

I say, you should share it. That's what I plan to do. I think it sums up all the emotions about this painful time perfectly. :angel:

:D Great, sums it up into words perfectly, some people dont understand but i recon once they have read this they may be a little more supportive :D

Thanx for sharing that with everyone :)
