Thank you Ashley for being so open. I’m so glad you said you were trying not to bury it in the back of your mind because it is true our brains can only store so much in the back before it comes to the front and then you can have big trouble. I have done a lot of that and still do. I believe that why I got very sick in 2015! There are five girls in my family and only two of us had children. I think that’s pretty surprising in one family. They are all for different reasons though. I know so many females who do not have children in my age group. I’m honestly very shocked that I know 8 woman and possibly more that never had children. I’m very sorry you are feeling this pain. My sister always worries she won’t have anyone to help her when she gets older. I’m glad you are able to spend the time you do with Sabrina. Xoxoxo ❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️
Giana's Baby World Reborn Burying it is easy but its time I face certain things! Its really a day by day thing. I can be totally fine one day and a hot mess the next 😩 Most days are a blessing 💞
I love you. It’s so intense, and it’s so amazing that you have shared your story and experience. There are really no words to say that can fill the loss or absence inside, and I’ve been there for brief moments so I understand on a tiny level the category of emotion. I love that you did this video and I know you are speaking to many people through your experience. Glad you are here. 💕
Hi Ashley. I watched this Video 2 days ago and I could not Comment because I had No Words to Express the Sadness I was feeling for you. I can't even imagine what my Life would be like if I didn't have any of my Children. I know how Depressed I was when I couldn't have 1 more child after having 5. Which after hearing you describe your Pain of not being able to ever have any children at all seems I was being almost Ungrateful for My 5 Blessings. I feel so Terrible for you. I don't even know what to say to Comfort you at all! There are No Words. But you have Helped me to look at My own situation in a whole different light. I always felt like each of my children were a Blessing. But now I really feel much more Appreciative to have the Privilege of being able to be a Mother. I feel your Hurt because you won't get to Experience that at all. I don't know if I am making any sense at all. But I really appreciate you Sharing your Feelings on this Very Personal Subject. Sending you Lots of Hugs and Love :-)
Ashley, you were so honest and open in this video and I am sure it was painful to discuss. My heart hurt for you as I listened but I know there is a reason for everything and God has a perfect plan for your life. I believe the reborn dolls would help an individual exactly as you described in this video, a comfort but not a replacement. Your newest little girl is so peaceful and precious. I really enjoyed seeing her. Take care and remember that you are special and are touching other peoples lives in a way that you may not be able too if you had children of your own. Love and hugs. xxoo
itsybitsyreborns 7 🥰Yes! I totally agree! Im not as sad as this video make me sound lol Just when I talk about it. I dont let it consume my day to day life. I have moments and then move on and live my life and I hope others in a similar situation as myself can do the same!
Oh Ashley, I want to comment, but my heart is too full for the right words. I felt your pain and also your strength, although my own experience with fighting through really tough things that are always going to be there anyway tells me you may not feel very strong right now. I've known I wanted to be a mom since I was five years old, and among many fears I now have about it, such as passing on not so great mental health that seems to run in both sides of my family, my biggest fear is that it will never happen. I've had two false/phantom pregnancies, and the last one in particular was devastating. Just know that you're not alone in these feelings, and sharing them doesn't always necessarily mean you're burdening someone else. I so admire your honesty and openness. You'll be in my prayers as you continue to work through these really difficult emotions. XOXO
Nicole's Little Ones Mental health issues run on my husbands and my side along with addiction to drugs and alcohol, not myself but others in my close and extended family so It would also be selfish of myself to have children if I could but I probably would anyway because Im selfish at times! We all have a purpose and even though our biological purpose some would say is to procreate, not everyone has that purpose and maybe the purpose is something greater.
Pam Obryan Im doing ok! I sound like Im struggling and I am but Im ok!! Constantly working through the emotions. Its something that is part of my life and will always need attention!
Thanks so much for doing this video Ashley and for being so open about how you're dealing with your feelings. Of the videos I've seen, I think your answers resonated with me the most. Let's just say I completely have had the same feelings as you and definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm so glad your little ones can at least provide some form of comfort for you, as mine certainly do for me ❤🤗
Great chat....you were amazing and I understand everything you said. You were to the point. I enjoyed this video. Tulla is super cute. I love her name.😄
I think anyone can experience baby fever even if you’ve never had a baby. It’s a hearts desire. I saw that little outfit at t j max and wanted it but the only one they had in 0-3 was missing the tights that went with it. I was so disappointed. It looks really cute on your baby.
oooh i love her! who was tula's artist? this is a good topic. I can't have a kid either because chronic illness runs in my family and I just don't want to pass that on. I do think the reborns supliment that need but they don't replace real babies. I feel that void too. I called to become a foster mom but the people were extremely rude...so that fell flat.
MommyCassReborns Unfortunately Cass the door will always be closed for us for fostering. We went through the processes and since hubby has mental illness that disqualifies us
Reborns2 luv I agree to a certain point. Reborns alone can not provide the kind of healthy lifestyle when your dealing with loss or not having children. I really think that one should seek professional help but thats my opinion. I think with addition of the reborns can be very helpful but In order to really work though such a heavy issue, i think its best to seek help
I appreciate you sharing your story and feelings about the reborn dolls or babies I have adopted three reborn babies so far I am hoping that they will fill the hole that I have in my heart and my life unlike you I have had to living Sons and one miscarried daughter none of my children that got raised my boys were taken away from me at young age for the simple fact I was a single mother. So I have no idea if it would have been better without having any children my own or having them taken away as they were.
carly Dunham I feel for you! Just remember we all have a purpose here on earth and although it may feel like we dont know what that is, it exists. Its ok to have your bad moments as long as you can out your head back up and continue on and not dwell on things that can not be

You spoke wonderfully well Ashley. You were open and honest and you have a lot of insight into your feelings. Hugs, xxoo
Baby Bunting Nursery I think its important to discuss even though it may be difficult

Mary O Im so glad Im not alone yet It makes me sad that others know this pain!
Tula is so beautiful. Great video! You are a strong, beautiful and kind person. 💖
Great talk. Stay strong, you are beautiful inside and out. I love the outfit, she is such a cutie.
Carol McCaffree Thanks! Im really loving her
Hi Ashley. Super cute baby girl and her outfit is cute.
My reborns give me comfort. With my anxiety and depression.
My reborns I adore. Im glad they give you some comfort!
I’m so sorry! I can’t even imagine the pain!
Aww she’s adorable ❤️❤️
Chrissy’s reborns Thank you

Linda Deskins I just picked the outfit up today. Its also size 0/3 but as you can see my baby is size newborn and it fits well!

They can help give comfort to help us get on with the regular life we have deal with every day.
cathi frost Exactly
Such a cutie. I dont think reborns can substitute but can provide therapy
