Practical Tips
Here you will find posts about practical tips for yourself (to keep your sanity), but also posts you can pass on to “well meaning friends” (like why to NEVER say to “just relax!”).
Fight for Your Family
This week I’m thinking about a Bible verse that I want to share with you. In fact, I’m praying these words for both you and for me as I write. Friends, I encourage you to FIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILIES. Nehemiah 4:14 says, “Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families…”…
When Church is a Hard Place to Be… We Still Need It
Church is a hard place to be when you’re struggling with infertility. Church is a hard place to be when you’re grieving your baby who recently died. Church is a hard place to be when you’re new in town. Church is a hard place to be during a pandemic. The past year has been a…
Gift Ideas After Pregnancy Loss
Do you know someone who recently had a miscarriage or stillbirth? Are you wondering how to show that you care? First of all, mail a card. Seeing a handwritten note in the mailbox will brighten your friend’s day. Your words can encourage her heart. Do you want to send a gift? Until recently, I didn’t…
Remember the Due Date
During the first week of January, a notification repeatedly popped up on my phone’s calendar, and I continued to push it back to another day. Last summer, when I found out that I was pregnant with our son, it delighted me to learn of other “pregnancy buddies.” And then I was saddened when I began…
When in Doubt, Send a Card
When a friend or family member is experiencing infertility or reeling from a loss such as miscarriage, stillbirth, or death of a child, sometimes we just don’t know what to say. For years I understood infertility all too well, but didn’t have firsthand experience with miscarriage. In fact, I didn’t have any experience with the…
Letter to Myself
Dear Self, I’m not sure I’ve ever written a letter to myself, especially not one to share publicly, but as I reflect on the past decade I am wondering what I wish I’d known. Because of my faith in God, I trust that He is directing my path, and He carefully shines light on the…
Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grief, and Church
One year, on the day before Father’s Day, I took a walk, pondering how the holiday did not bother me nearly as much as Mother’s Day did. During the years when I struggled to conceive, Mother’s Day was too painful for me to even know how to handle it. I managed to cope and I was…
Mother’s Day: Give Yourself Space and Grace
I’m writing this post for Mother’s Day 2018 the evening of Mother’s Day 2017, a full year ahead of time, because each year during my 7 years of infertility, Mother’s Day rolls around and I don’t know how to handle it. My husband knows it’s a tough day for me to be at church, surrounded by pregnant bellies and growing…
Pursue Other Dreams (Like Writing) While You Wait
One of the best ways I coped with 7 years of infertility was by pursuing other dreams. I found that it was easier to run a half marathon or write a book than it was to become pregnant. You were designed to create – to grow new life, to bear fruit, and I believe that it’s healthy to find…
