Scenario

When fertility struggles isolate couples from their community

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for three years and all our friends are having babies easily, and we've started declining invitations and pulling away because it's too painful. We know we're isolating ourselves but we can't figure out how to stay connected to our community while we're going through this, and our friends don't know how to support us either.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief is creating distance from the very relationships that could provide support, while others struggle to bridge the gap.
