I am a 50-something European woman doing what I once thought wasn't possible: finding happiness after infertility. While it's been a long, difficult and emotional journey (10 unsuccessful IVF treatments), each day I take another step down the path toward a fulfilling new life. This is my story of reinvention.

Silent Sorority & my sister
Have you read Silent Sorority? There just aren't enough words for me to describe on how many levels this book helped me with accepting my childless life. During the winter I am looking to re-read the book, I will write more then.
Once I was describing this book to my sister and I was explaining that no book could describe how I feel better then this book. So she said she would love to read the book.
One evening she phoned me, I picked up the phone and she was just crying. I got scared that something bad happened to her baby girl. But my sister was just crying on the phone: "It is so sad that Pamela can not have children. It is so sad that you can not have children." So I also started to cry and we were just crying together... No words were needed.

I have it, tooooooo!!! And whenever I need it, I can always reread it 'coz it's my lifesaver, too. :-) Kudos to your sister for being such a supportive person in your life!
ReplyDeletedear Amel,
Deletelifesaver is a beautiful description of this book!
Thanks for sharing this tender moment. How sweet that you've found a new level of understanding ... Really warms my heart that Silent Sorority has touched so many lives.
ReplyDeleteIndeed - Silent Sorority has touched many lives!
DeleteOnce my coworker said (my age, also without children - I lent her my book) that she would make hundreds of copies of the last pages of the book and give it to people she knows.
Love this. I gave it to my mom to read, and she said it really opened her eyes.
