Childless

Hi. I've just recently found out that my partner & I can not have children. I'm struggling to come to terms with never being able to become a mother. My partner is very closed off and just brushes off the subject everytime I try to talk to him about it. I just don't how we're ever going to come to terms with this. It's breaking my heart

I’m so sorry. We have all been there. It’s awful and lonely. However, if you reach out, you’ll find others who understand-lots of resources on line and the website for a start. It will never be easy, but it will get easier. You’ll find meaning and joy again. When things are less raw, maybe your husband will be able to talk more. Look after yourself. Sending you lots of love 💕

So sorry to hear this, it is absolutely devastating and a loss that takes time to come to terms with and grieve. I completely understand how to feel as I’m there too and I’ve not been able to come to terms with it yet. My partner also doesn’t want to talk about it which can make us feel very isolated and lonely. Please know though that you’re not alone and there are lots of people on here to support you as well as webinars on the website - there’s one tomorrow evening with Shannon from Happily Ever After (without children) - look for her podcasts online, I found them really useful.

Sending big hugs xx

I sorry this as happend it must be horrible but reach out to the people that can help, there are many things you can do maybe together. Maybe going to a couples group may help where u can talk to over people . We are all here for you and hear your pain and upset.

I hope over time it gets easier for you

Big hugs
