Finally Good News: How to Support Your Friend with Infertility


Listen Later

If you are dealing with infertility, have you ever been on the receiving end of an insensitive comment? (Of course you have. I don't know anyone who hasn't).

If you are the friend of someone with infertility, have you ever said something well-meaning which went down like a lead balloon? (You probably have, even if you don't know it yet.)

Today we discuss my top 5 strategies for how to support a friend with infertility, especially after they have received good news. It is impossible to understand the perspective of someone with infertility or recurrent loss if you haven't gone through it yourself, and this episode will help you be the most supportive friend/family member possible.

In addition, by keeping gratitude top of mind, you will be able to see the friendship in terms of the long-term gift it is, and learn how to approach the different seasons as they come. 

As always, please keep in mind that this is my perspective and nothing in this podcast is medical advice.
