Infertility
brings a deep pain that only those who have experienced it
firsthand can truly understand. Every month that passes
without a positive pregnancy test is a loss that is
difficult to impossible to grieve openly. Individuals and
couples that walk the path that was chosen for them
may feel indescribable frustration and isolation on even
their best days.
I know this
to be true because I am walking this path. And in my fervent
efforts to identify all available resources to assist me in
working through the trying times, I found many books,
websites, discussion boards, and of course, infertility
clinics that were willing to help.
What I
found painfully lacking was any local resource
through which infertile individuals and couples could
connect with others that are also traveling the path.
Surely I am not the only woman and we are not the only
couple in Kentucky experiencing this!
In addition
to working toward the formal creation of an infertility
support group within Lexington, I am also volunteering my
time toward the construction of this website, which I hope
to eventually grow to become The Resource for the Central
Kentucky area.
The mission
of Infertility Resources is to connect with individuals and
couples who have been touched by the loss and pain of
infertility; establishing a presence that is both welcoming
and informative, while supporting each participating
individual/couple's choice of the path toward healing
that is right for them.
I welcome
your feedback as I continue to create this presence not only
for myself, but for each of you. |
