Applications are open until October 14th.
A woman struggling with secondary infertility and parenting a teenager seeks advice on managing the emotional toll of trying to conceive while also trying to be the best mother to her 14 year old son. Should she tell him what she is going through? Find out what Elisha, founder of Waiting for Baby Bird has to say about the matter.
In August 2016, Elisha Kearns spoke at an infertility conference and recently returned to share her ongoing journey. She recounted the disciples' stormy middle while rowing across the sea, paralleling it with the challenges faced during infertility. She encourages perseverance amidst difficulties, emphasizing God's presence in the journey.
In the infertility community, the importance of "living while we wait" is emphasized. To navigate this challenging period, several strategies are suggested: serving others, reframing thoughts, staying socially connected, planning enjoyable activities, exercising, adopting hobbies, avoiding life pauses, cultivating gratitude, evaluating life choices, and investing in friendships. Embrace these practices to find purpose and joy.
