- When Infertility Strikes the Family: Helping the System Cope" by Dr. Linda Hammer Burns and Sharon N. Covington. (Originally published in Family Building Magazine) This is an insightful thorough article on how infertility affects not only the couple, but also their extended family. This is useful reading for both the infertile and their family.
- Send this video, Empty Arms, to your family and friends. There is no better way to explain the pain and the longing that is infertility.
- Often families and friends don't know how to respond or support someone going through infertility. And really, when you think about it, how would they know unless they've been through it themselves or unless you tell them. Help them out by giving them this great little booklet titled How Can I Help? The Dos And The Dont's Of Support.
- "Helping a Loved One with Infertility" is a wonderful article full of very practical specific advice. It is written from the Christian perspective.
- "Letter to My Pastor" is, as the name implies, a heartfelt letter to a minister explaining what Mother's Day feel like for an infertile woman. I think the message would apply to other family-centric holidays and for people other than your pastor.
- A wonderfully insightful sermon on infertility. I can imagine that this might be a useful link to share with your minister.Too bad this sermon is not preached in every church throughout the world.
- I thought this was such well written advice on how to share your pregnancy news with your friends who are struggling with trying to conceive.It's from Advice Smackdown.
