Grief can encompass the loss of anything in our lives, tangible or intangible. In the journey of infertility, it can often feel hard to explain the depths of grief you experience. I often struggled putting words to the things that I was feeling so that others could understand. Here are some truths that I hope will give you the peace and freedom to grieve as you need.

1. It’s important to let your heart grieve.

2. You have to learn how to turn the corner from grief.

Tips for pulling yourself out of grief from The Overcome Journal:

Identify the trouble.

Assess where you are emotionally.

Identify the triggers.

Take the next step.

Take heart! (encourage your heart with God’s truth)

Overcome with prayer, serving others and gratitude.

3. We will never move on from grief, but we have to learn how to move forward with it.

4. We have to grieve intangible losses too.

Practical tools for grieving these kind of losses:

Journaling, naming the expectations we had for how we thought this would go, marking losses with significance

5. Get off the emotional rollercoaster.
