is a podcaster, consultant, speaker and infertility campaigner. Here, she shares her experience of infertility and the words and gestures from friends that helped.
The chasm becomes smaller almost immediately – being open and honest means, suddenly, even though our paths have taken different turns, we are just friends again, sharing how we are feeling. Everyone is different, of course, but here are a few pointers to help you support a friend if they are in this position.When we were in the middle of all our treatment cycles, I wished more people understood that we were on a relentless rollercoaster of hope and grief. All I really needed to hear from my friends was: ‘I’m so sorry. Are you okay?’
The people who asked sensitively if there was anything they could do were the people I ended up confiding in the most. I needed support, but sometimes, I couldn’t bring myself to talk about it. Knowing I had people around me offering an ear if I wanted it, but understanding if I couldn’t share right then, was amazing.
