Friend,
For many of us, the journey to motherhood can be an emotional rollercoaster. When faced with fertility struggles, it’s common to feel like you’re left out of a world where everyone around you is effortlessly becoming parents. This overwhelming sense of isolation can take a heavy toll on our emotional well-being, making us question our worth and our place in this world.
Feeling Left Out: It’s easy to feel like the odd one out when it seems like everyone you know is starting their families, even those much younger than you. The experience of seeing friends and acquaintances getting pregnant can be incredibly difficult.
Forgiving Others: During this journey, it’s important to remember that not everyone can fully understand the depth of our fertility struggles unless they’ve experienced it themselves. People may unintentionally exclude you from certain events or conversations, thinking they are protecting your feelings. It’s important to find it in your heart to forgive them for not understanding your pain.
The Ongoing Struggle: Even when you finally welcome your own beautiful miracle into the world, the reality is that the feeling of being left out doesn’t always vanish. The truth is that your fertility journey, like your life, is unique and ongoing. It’s essential to accept that sometimes people might not fully comprehend your needs even when you’re in the “same season”.
God’s Unwavering Love: In the midst of feeling left out and unseen, remember that God never left you. He never left me. God never excluded us from His blessings, and He values us immeasurably.
True Friendships: One valuable lesson that fertility struggles can teach us is the importance of genuine friendships. It’s easy to believe that we will belong more if we’re in the same season as our friends, but the truth is, real friends are there for you regardless of the season. A true friend loves at all times.
The Healing Balm: If you’ve been hurt by feeling left out, please remember this: God loves you, and you are the apple of His eye. His love is the ultimate source of healing balm for your wounded heart. You are not alone on this challenging path, and there are people who care deeply about you and your well-being. Seek solace in your heavenly Father, embrace genuine friendships, and remember that your worth as a woman or friend is not defined by your ability to conceive. You are worthwhile because you are you. You are created in the image of God.
You are not left out, you are not left behind, and you are immeasurably valued by God.
