to me, having kids isnt a dream - its what my whole existance is for. its nothing to do with 'dreams' / plans / hopes etc. its way more fundamental than that. the grief of not doing so is great.
Thanks for this. I hope I achieve that sense of serenity you speak of. But for now, my life is excruciatingly empty without a child. And it's a lonely, isolated island of pain.
I have lived this pain. I have taken so many pregnancy tests that I should own stock. This was me for 6 years. I started to resent hope. We never gave up, never stopped trying, never relaxed. After seeking fertility help and all other options failed, we turned to IVF. And yet also found salvation in Ukraine. I was very impressed by medicine in this poor country. Our medicine center was also in Kiev city. Our clinic even provides us with transfer any time we wanted. Now I look back and remember how much it hurt - emotionally to not understand why it failed. I also now look at the three children that followed those years of pain and just rejoice with joy. I will NEVER take for granted this life. Infertility made us so much stronger.
Hello Sheridan Voysey, I have great respect for you as my brother in Christ and my spirit moves in compassion hearing your testimony. However, I am deeply sorry to say the ideas and interpretation of the scripture and more importantly the presentation of the God of the Bible based around your personal life story is very misleading and false. I am sorry Sheridan Voysey I totally feel for you but I cannot be silent over the fact that you have taken passages from the scripture way out of its context and its spiritual meaning and interpreted plainly around the events of your life. Any dream other than pursuing Christ is always going to be a broken dream one way or another.
Broken dreams here
Timeless encouragement. Thank you.
I’ve been married 19 years and have dealt with this exceptionally awful pain.
Sheridan, I know you posted this 11 years ago. Thank you. Hardest journey 🥺
It really is. Lots of love to you.

I would rather die than give up my dream.
