I'm not exactly quiet about our infertility, but I'm also not so outspoken about it, as it makes my husband uncomfortable. What a wonderful thing you did, advocating for all those couples in your church struggling on those special occasion days.

I agree it is important to try to educate others, when we can, in effort to try to open minds, raise awareness and help people who want to be parents, have more children and/or have experienced loss to feel included, especially around holidays like Mother's and Father's Day.<br /><br />Last year my friend Lori from LavenderLuz.com wrote this awesome post:<br /><br />http://lavenderluz.com/2012/05/outliers.html<br /><br />I ended up sharing it with my pastor on the night before Mother's Day, whom emailed me the blessing they were planning to use the next day/that Sunday at church (which was Mother's Day). He asked for my feedback and edits to make it more inclusive. Then he proceeded to use it on Sunday with my edits! This year on Mother's Day they used the same version, including my inclusive edits, which made me smile. One of our Associate Pastors who preached on Mother's Day also mentioned mother's who have lost children during his sermon, which I appreciated. <br /><br />Here are some posts that I have written over the years on similar topics:<br /><br />http://bereavedandblessed.com/2011/06/unusual-fathers-day-blessing/<br /><br />http://bereavedandblessed.com/2012/06/fathers-day-blessing/<br /><br />http://bereavedandblessed.com/2012/05/happy-day/<br /><br />Anyway, kudos to you for doing this and keeping the conversation going in your church and community! :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175833982955486083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259092908731735507.post-90931046899865963292013-05-09T07:33:45.715-07:002013-05-09T07:33:45.715-07:00Thanks so much Jessah!

That letter was so on point and so full of grace and class. I hope that more churches and organizations begin to realize the effects of infertility, how many women it effects and the emotional impact that something what seems like a simple holiday can have on women like us. Kudos to you. I'll be thinking of you and all of my other blog buddies that have lost and are longing to have babies this Mothers Day. xoSuzanne https://www.blogger.com/profile/17076109137436674891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259092908731735507.post-35203487560891958172013-05-07T07:25:03.968-07:002013-05-07T07:25:03.968-07:00Thanks!Thanks!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069220262683215373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259092908731735507.post-78527795940863183692013-05-07T07:24:56.409-07:002013-05-07T07:24:56.409-07:00That's exactly it...all those people sitting i...That's exactly it...all those people sitting in the pews who don't get flowers.
