I hope you are able to just focus on yourself and your husband and find some joy in the Holidays, but I know how hard it can be when there is a hole in your heart that only a baby can fill. I feel like I cried from December 1st-January 1st last year. It was awful, I was miserable, and I hated every minute of it. So far I'm doing better this year, but I think it has more to do with our decision to stop trying at the moment. I've been where you've been, saying it sucks and is painful doesn't even come close and I'm sorry. (Hugs) I just hope 2012 is a fresh start and that this time next year you have a reason to celebrate, a reason to be thankful, and that this is the last Christmas you spend wishing you were a Mom. I know your dream will come true soon enough.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304015627070680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797005159464524549.post-27619795104837950282011-12-19T09:16:17.328-06:002011-12-19T09:16:17.328-06:00When I read your post I thought to myself wow, tha...When I read your post I thought to myself wow, that is so similar to how I am feeling.

Because for many of us, especially in the IF world, it is not a happy time. I've just decided to quit trying to be happy, and instead just trying to get through it, finding moments of good self-care (and perhaps peace, if I'm very lucky). <br />I hope that your Holidays are not too horrible, and that there is time to rest and be good to yourself. You've been through so much. Give yourself a little chance for peace in whatever way speaks to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797005159464524549.post-4550290985893797602011-12-19T06:07:18.760-06:002011-12-19T06:07:18.760-06:00This time of year is so hard for infertiles.
