Infertility can harm your marriage, there is enough proof of that. Many couples struggle to have
children and often times find themselves struggling to save their marriage as
well.
As per my experience, women more often than men, are the
ones who end up fighting depression, anxiety, loneliness and all the other
symptoms associated with infertility.
I stumbled across
this piece of writing by Elizabeth Gilbert , an excerpt from her work, ‘Eat, Pray,
Love.’ sometime ago and decided to bookmark it for my blog. I am not sure how I
would have used it, since it did not say for sure that this was written about
an infertility situation. Nevertheless, I knew from careful reading that it
could be used in this context, since I remember myself in this same situation;
fighting depression, loneliness and staying up all night crying.
Only a love built on solid foundation can withstand the
pangs of infertility. Permit me to introduce to you, such a love.........
"I'm here.
I love you.
I love you.
I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long,
I will stay with you.
There is nothing you could ever do to lose my love.
I will protect you until you die,
And after your death, I will still protect you.
I am stronger than depression and I am braver than loneliness
And nothing can ever exhaust me."
Elizabeth Gilbert - Eat, Pray, Love
