SUBMERSED!!!

The dictionary defines 'submerse' as "To place or go under, or as if under water. To cover with water." As Infertility life coaches, we have lots of people comment on the cover art of our coaching template, which you can see on this blog. We have had women tell us that they feel like the beautiful woman depicted here. They tell us that on the outside, they appear to be an attractive woman, with her 'act together.' On the inside, they say they feel as though they are drowning in the secret sorrow of infertility.  Each month when their period begins again, they grieve the loss of what 'might have been,' the pregnancy they so desire. Each month they suffer alone, and in silence, because their grief and loss is too devastating to even voice out loud to another person.

The Center for Disease and Prevention reports that 7.3 million women between the ages of 15-44; or 11.8% of women in this age range, cite trouble with infertility. In this study, infertility is defined as being 'unable to conceive for more than 12 months'.

So what about you?
Do you identify with the woman on our blog? Are you experiencing a grief and loss so great that you haven't even discussed your infertility journey with another person or close friend? 

As Infertility life coaches, we know how important it is for women to talk through their problems with others in a confidential setting. We know that God has created you to be a beautiful, unique person, for whom He has speical plans. We also know that discussing your infertility journey with another person is a great first step toward receiving the encouragement you need, and a way for you to see your  journey from God's perspective.
