Silent Grief ~ Infertility and Loss

You’re trying for your first baby. You’re hopeful. You’re excited. But when test after test comes back negative, the hope starts to disappear, and worry sets in. Am I the problem? Is it him? Will we ever get to build a family together? Then, that first test comes up positive . . . only to end in a miscarriage.  It’s the grief that nobody sees, the loss that no one knows. Yet, 1 in 5 women experience infertility, and 1 in 8 pregnancies end in a miscarriage. On today’s episode and blog, my friend Amanda Piatek shares her own journey through infertility and loss. She gives a message of hope — and of surrendering control — in a situation that felt anything but hopeful.
