When couples face fertility struggles while friends are having babies

My partner and I have been trying to have a baby for two years and all our friends are getting pregnant easily and we don't know how to show up for their joy when we're drowning in our own grief. We love them but every baby shower feels like sitting in a room full of what we can't have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to hold their own private grief while maintaining authentic relationships with people who represent their deepest longing.
