When IVF Failed and Time Didn't Fix It: Healing the Loss of Motherhood

You were told time would heal this.

That if you just waited long enough, the pain of leaving IVF without a baby would soften. That eventually the anger, loneliness, and grief around the dream of motherhood would fade on their own.

But if you're childless after infertility, you already know the truth. The calendar didn't fix it.

In this episode of The "So Now What?" Podcast, you explore why time alone doesn't heal the loss of motherhood when IVF failed and why that doesn't mean something is wrong with you. You'll hear why these feelings resurface again and again during emotionally charged moments like Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Day, and year-end milestones and why waiting quietly can start to cost you more than you realize.

This episode is for you if you're childless not by choice, navigating life after IVF failed, and wondering why time hasn't brought the peace everyone promised.

In this episode, you'll explore:

Why time doesn't heal the loss of motherhood after IVF failed

Why infertility grief is cyclical, not seasonal

How holidays, birthdays, and Mother's Day can reopen the wound

Why "just moving on" can disconnect you from yourself

What actually helps you heal and move forward after infertility
