[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Mine are around the same age as yours. Yes, it is so much easier!

That’s one reason I feel so much regret. I don’t regret not being a CEO or philanthropist. Those were never a possibility for me. Three kids? Well, yes, that was possible. It was my own issues that cut off that choice. (Unlike you, I do not work and have more time.) my fault. I’m too old now.

Surely, there are people who struggle with infertility or other bigger issues than mine. I wonder what tools they use to get over it, to whatever extent they can. I know how I should feel. I don’t know how to get there.

Anyway, PP, thank you for your honesty.

I’m sending so much love to you and the other posters. Please don’t compare your grief to other people’s issues. It’s all relative and belittles you’re own feelings. I think the best way to get over it is to really really feel it. Don’t try to avoid the feeling, burying it will make it worse. When you think about it, where in your body do you feel it? Your stomach? Your neck, chest, jaw…everyone? Feel it and acknowledge it. Grieve it. Over time it may never get less sad, but it won’t be as hard. Maybe it will be easier to rewrite your story and perspective.

And to the PP who was in the devastating position and had to terminate the pregnancy- I’m so sorry. I have run scenarios in my mind if I were to accidentally get pregnant again and would sadly have to do the exact same thing because of the same reason. I can’t imagine, except to say I am sending a huge compassionate hug your way.[/quote]
