This has been the best book I've read for dealing with the emotional / psychological aspects of infertility. I cried from cover to cover because I finally felt understood.

" This book is TOTALLY awesome. It mostly talks about the emotional aspects of IF and I kept finding it so hard to believe they found the words to what I am experiencing. "

" This book is awesome. It helps explain all the feelings that we have but are unable to put into words. I highly recommend this to all TTC'ers and even their families. I think it should be shared with family and friends to help them understand the emotional road that we are all on. "

" I have just recently started this book and it's wonderful. I finally feel understood. And it gives words and explanations to things I've always felt but never knew just how to explain them. I highly recommend this book to anyone going through IF. "

" This was a WONDERFUL book to read. At first it was a little frustrating as they went back and forth between various couples but after I adjusted to the way the book was written it fully pulled me in.

I had a hard time coming to terms with reading books on IF. I felt if I read the books on how to cope with it then it meant I was admitting defeat. Prior to reading this book I read a few others. Right before it I read "The Empty Picture Frame" which brought a lot of my emotions to the surface and prepared me for the healing process.

I never expected to learn as much as I did from this book. It helped put IF in a new perspective for me. It also helped me find the words to label various IF struggles that I could not find on my own.

I strongly recommend this book for couples going through IF and for family and friends to help them better understand what it is like for us. "
