Infertility and pregnancy loss do not just affect individuals, they shape marriages too. During the week of April 19th we acknowledge Infertility Awareness Week. This episode is in preparation for that week. We are creating intentional space to acknowledge the couples walking through this often unseen journey, and to remind you that you are not alone.
In this honest and hope filled conversation our hosts Jason and BonnieRuth Rolf interview Brent and Heather who share their 15 year journey through primary and secondary infertility, multiple miscarriages connected to endometriosis, and the faith that helped them hold onto each other when answers did not come.
Now parents of three children through both science and the grace of God, they speak with compassion and clarity to couples navigating treatments, grief, fear, and discouraged dreams. One of the most meaningful parts of this episode centers on learning how to give your spouse space to process differently, and why recognizing that men experience loss deeply too can strengthen connection instead of creating distance.
Heather also shares about her newly released book Barren: A Shared Journey of Infertility, Loss, and Faith, a resource created to help women walk through loss, waiting, and faith with hope. Get your copy here; https://a.co/d/02S2hukR
