IVF a few years and coming to terms with it. We're approved to adopt, but haven't found a match.
I'm working as a therapist helping a woman with a small baby and loads and loads of feelings like grief are coming up and it's knocked me sideways. I just feel really low and the usual strategies aren't helping. What to do? , it's almost as though I've been putting off grieving for not giving birth because the possibility of adoption is there. Does any of this strike a chord with anyone? Feeling so lost.

Grief is a tricky whatsit, for me often appearing when I least expect it. I'm not surprised that it's been triggered by working with particular client. Do you have to continue working with her or would it be better if someone else supported her? Perhaps you could access some counselling to support you through this difficult time so you are feeling better by the time the match occurs.
I wish you all the best with the adoption matching. It's an amazing thing to do.
Just a note that this forum is for people who are no longer trying to conceive or adopting.
