May can be a very difficult, wobble-filled month for we childless not by choice. Please know, it's okay to wobble. It's okay to grieve. Our grief will always be a part of us. Because the littles we dreamed of will always be in our hearts... So, when the grief hits, let it shine, fabulous one. Embrace the glitter. Yup. Embrace the f****** glitter. #ChildlessNotByChoice #DisenfranchisedGrief #GriefJourney #notsomommy #notsomommyblogs #childlessblog #childlessblogs #childlesssupport #infertilitypain #infertilitysadness #infertilitygrief #infertilityblog #infertilityblogs #infertilitysupport #griefislikeglitter #grief #childlessgrief #childlessbyinfertility #childlessafterinfertility

Reminder: when you always imagined that you'd have a family and now it's too late, you might be feeling grief. Give yourself permission to express it and process it. Are you feeling a sense of loss and grief because life turned out very differently than you expected? Let's talk about it in the comments. #childlessgrief #childless #grief

Grief can feel isolating, lonely, tormenting, maddening and lifeless. It makes you feel like your unlovable, or unable to give love. The emotional mood swings can make it feel like why would anyone want to deal with this. Then it starts making you wonder if you'd even be a good mom if you can't deal with this. I want to say to you that you are loveable and able to give love. You are worth someone going through the emotional Rollercoaster of grief with you. You are worthy of love. You'd make a bad ass mother and anyone who gives love and nutures is a mother. Grief is the immense amount of love with no where to go. But it does have some where to go. Yourself. Do what makes you happy in the moment. Book more time for yourself. Your worthy of monthly massages or a dinner date with yourself or a close friend. Give yourself something to look forward to. It took me 4 years to realize when I have nothing small or big to look forward to it's easier for me to fall back into the muck. Yiu will have great weeks and some not so great weeks. Just have to remember how far you have come. I remember absolutely breaking everyday and bawling for hours and hours and now it's only when things are really tough and I can handle alot more of my triggers in public. It's small steps to getting back your life. Take it easy when it gets tough and remember that it's okay to be sad but you can't live there. Make a routine to follow and do more things that bring you joy. Buy those minatures and get lost for hours building them or in a book or baking or just anything that will bring you happiness, peace and calmness to your mind. Keep your head high. Spirits higher. And remember how much of a bad ass you are. #infertilitycommunity #infertilityawareness #infertilitysupport #infertilityandholidays #infertility #infertilitysucks #childlesssupport #childlessbycircumstance #childlessgrief #childlessnotbychoice #hysterectomyrecovery #hysterectomy #endowarrior #endometriosissupport #endometriosiscommunity

Pockets of joy from my day… Y’all this week has been full… I’ve worked 20 hours at Whole Foods on top of preparing, confirming, reading sermons & double checking details for our youth Sunday at west end umc. Which is going to be life giving - so get you there on Sunday! Let me know if you want the link to watch online.🤩 It rained a lot of the week and I hadn’t gotten my weekly labyrinth walk in. Until today👣 Today was so good A walk with Sarah, children’s sermon and sermon reading, a labyrinth walk + catching up with Lex. It was just what I needed. What pockets of joy have you noticed recently? #pocketsofjoy #childlessgrief #childlessbycircumstance #reimaginechildless #embracingchildless #embracingchildlesstogether #nashvillelabyrinth #youthministry #youthsunday #lifegiving

Another holiday. Another holiday you don't get to plan. Another holiday where your not putting foot prints of the holiday guy. And that's okay. It can be hard. Not preparing for things that you wished you could of for so long. Not being invited to those things with kids because you don't have kids so you don't get to participate in. It hurts. But that's okay. How people treat you says nothing about your character and everything about theirs. Have a hoppy Easter and buy yourself some chocolate and treat yourself to a Easter dinner. Couple more days of posts and it'll all be over stay strong 🩵 #childlesssupport #childlessgrief #infertilitycommunity

‘This is such a relief’. That’s what my 1:1 client said when I let her feel the difference in carrying your pain, versus holding your pain. Emotional pain, like anger, grief, sadness are emotions and emotions are just energy in motion🙏. Emotions are supposed to flow, not carried as a heavy weight. If you don’t allow emotions to flow and move through you, aka, you carry it… It will get really heavy. Holding your grief is what you would do when you wear a hat: you hold it when a breeze tries to pick it up 💨 (or to look cute in a picture📸). You don’t walk around holding your hat all the time. Your arm would get sore and it’s completely unnecessary. Moral of the story: hold your emotions when necessary. Pay attention when that breeze comes along. It’s always better to see it coming than to be late and having to run after it. If you want to learn how, reach out. I have 2 spots available for 1:1 coaching, starting from 3 months and €1.500. Don’t miss this opportunity as my prices will go up soon due to my own coaching upgrading, with more tools in trauma-informed, evidence based coaching methods. I’m excited for that! (And studying on a Saturday evening as we speak 😅). Do you believe you can let go of pain, like heavy thoughts or memories? Let’s talk in the comments! Much love, From me and my new hat, Anne ☀️ #transformationalcoaching #traumainformedcoaching #childlessgrief #childlessnotbychoice #childlessafterinfertility #childlesscommunity #thekuramethod

They say that grief comes in waves. This has been my experience of it, but I also find that it comes in storms. There are waves within the storms and there are waves on calm days too, once the storm has passed through. On a stormy day, the waves are overwhelming and they can tumble us around furiously, leaving us disorientated and feeling battered. There is barely time to surface for a breath before we are knocked by another. There are calm days too, days where it all feels serene and the waves are gentler. Days when we are clear-headed and our souls and bodies reconnect. On days like these, I feel like me. I can read books, I can listen to a podcast, I can focus while I'm working. Cooking a meal doesn't feel like climbing a mountain, getting the washing done doesn't feel like falling in nettles, and talking to other humans doesn't feel like being thrown into a pit of snakes. The calm days are good. So good. These storms and waves are such a normal part of grief. There is no controlling them. We just weather them as best as we can and trust that the calm will return. We hope that the calm will linger longer, that the storms will become less frequent. And they do. Not because enough time has passed, and not because our hormones are magically balanced or because we have begun to see things differently or pulled ourselves together somehow. It all changes because we have grieved. We have done what grief asks of us, we have mourned our losses. We have cried, raged and begged for things to be different, and submitted to life as it is. So the storms roll in less frequently, and the calm lingers longer. #childlessgrief #childlessnotbychoice #involuntarychildlessness

It sucks feeling like we don’t belong. For many the bridge back to friends is having safe spaces where people get it #childlessnotbychoice #notalone #childlesssupportcircle #embracingchildlesslife #cnbc #childlessgriefcircle #childlesslife #childlesssupport #childlessbycircumstances #childless #healinghorseshoe #childlessgrief #caledoniancoaching

I have often found myself wondering when I will be me again, when I will be how I used to be before I knew with certainty that I would never have children. I have often wondered when I would be finally over it, when I would get back to normal, when I would be back to my usual self again. Others have been waiting for this return to normal as well. I've felt it. I've felt the way they've looked at me to assess whether I am back to being me yet or not. Sometimes they've concluded that, since I'm not actively crying and I'm talking about something other than childlessness, that I must be back to my old self again. If I'm honest, it has grated on me because deep down I have known all along that my old self has gone. As it happens, the worst of the grief of childlessness IS behind me now, and it shows. I am more present when I am with other people. I laugh more easily. I find joy more easily. I am not my old self but I have shed my old skin and, although the new skin still feels fragile, I am beginning to feel more comfortable in it. “You’re back!” a friend said the other day. “It’s so great to see.” “Thanks,” I said, glad that she had recognised a shift, “But I’m not ‘back’ as such. I’m not the same person that I was, so if anything, I’m forward.” #griefjourney #identityshift #childlessnessnotbychoice #childlessgrief #childlessnotbychoice

SENSITIVE POST WITH WOBBLE WARNING... I was on a high for days after the Night of Hope… Sharing photos, receiving more compliments & congratulations, considering where I would display my award in our home, thinking about that magical evening and the spectacular people I got to meet… I felt such joy, such happiness… And then, massive unexpected wobbles hit. I mean, I fell off the mountaintop hard. CRASH! BURN!

Losing a pregnancy, can lead you to question your status as their mother. I stand with @tommys campaign, #weseeamum No matter your journey, no matter the length of time you were pregnant. 🌱 . . . #infertility #fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #ivf #icsi #fertility #fertilitystruggles #grief #babyloss #miscarriage #missedmiscarriage #silentmiscarriage #molarpregnancy #chemicalpregnancy #ectopicpregnancy #tfmr #childless #childlessgrief #singleandchildless #pregnancyloss #pregnancylosssupport #miscarriagesupport #therapy

Special days in the calendar can highlight things we are missing, or have lost. Your feelings are valid. Even the difficult ones like jealousy or anger, which are perfectly natural when struggling with difficult situations. Managing those emotions can be difficult and speaking to someone can make a huge difference. 🌱 . . . #infertility #fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #ivf #icsi #fertility #fertilitystruggles #grief #babyloss #miscarriage #missedmiscarriage #silentmiscarriage #molarpregnancy #chemicalpregnancy #ectopicpregnancy #tfmr #childless #childlessgrief #singleandchildless #pregnancyloss #pregnancylosssupport #miscarriagesupport #therapy

Wishing my wonderful Mum a very Happy Mother’s Day. We all love you more than we could possibly ever say. 💐 How lucky these three are to have you as their Grandma too. 🌷 I’m also thinking of all the amazing, incredible women I know who have beautiful mothering hearts but whose arms remain empty…. sending you all so much love today. 🌸 (Photo from August 2023) #mothersday #mum #mothersday2024 #wonderful #childless #childlessnotbychoice #infertility #grief #childlessgrief

Today is Mother’s Day in the UK. Not everybody can celebrate the way they would like to. 💖 #nonmum #grief #childlessgrief #motherlessgrief #weareallmothers

Today, on International Women's Day, I want to remind us all that motherhood does not define our worth as women. Despite not being a mother myself, I firmly believe that each and every one of us is whole and complete just as we are, even when we are in deep grief. Our value lies not in what we do or how many children we have brought into the world, but in who we are—our compassion, our desire to heal, and our commitment to making the world a more diverse, loving, and accepting place. Let us celebrate the diverse experiences and identities of women everywhere, recognizing that our worth transcends any societal expectations or roles. Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women out there! #cnbcgrief #childlessbycirumstances #embracingus #caledoniancoaching #childlessgrief #childless #childlessbycircumstances #childlesssupport #childlesslife #cnbc #embracingchildlesslife #notalone #internationalwomensday #internationalwomansday

Another fairly insignificant day in the calendar. And yet..... a painful one. The emptiness of your hall becomes so loud. Your feelings are valid. It's ok to step away from social media. You do not have to go through this alone. 🌱 . . . . . . . . . . . #Infertility #Fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #pregnancyloss #miscarriage #babyloss #childless #infertilityjourney #disenfranchisedgrief #grief #childlessgrief

Who resonates with this one? Guilt is a normal part of the grieving process, and it sucks! Is it time to let go of some of the heaviness? #childlessnotbychoice #childlesssupport #cnbc #childlessbycirumstances #notalone #childlessgrief #cnbcgrief #childlesslife

My first ever podcast has been released today, thanks to the very lovely and understanding @juliasamuelmbe who has such a brilliant show called Therapy Works. Julia held our conversation with so much kindness and clarity, and I feel really proud and grateful for the opportunity to give voice to the experience of involuntary childlessness, particularly from the perspective of being single. You can find the episode on spotify etc, or through Julia's instagram page. If you're feeling tender in your childless grief please go gently as I do get a bit griefy and I think it'll bring emotions to the surface quite easily! Big love to you all and a very big thank you to you, Julia, for giving this subject a beautiful space on your podcast Xxx #childlessness #disenfranchisedgrief #childlessnotbychoice #childlessgrief #singleandchildless

Since my dad died three weeks ago, I've been processing a grief that is recognised and supported by society and have discovered that is a totally different experience to processing the disenfranchised grief of childlessness. It has, of course, been emotional and fraught at times - there has been deep sadness, stress and anxiety, as well as some relief that his health struggles have come to an end. In the time since he died, nobody has said any of these things to me: "Well, you could always volunteer in an old people's home" "At least you have your uncle though." "You can borrow my dad, ha ha." "Well, maybe you should have changed his drugs and he might still be alive." “You have to just be grateful for what you do have." "It's probably just your hormones. Are you perimenopausal?" "Sounds like a midlife crisis. We all go through them." And absolutely nobody has suggested that I shouldn’t give up hope, that he might come back to life, that there is still time. My journey through childless grief felt like staggering along a rocky path to the top of a mountain, blindfolded, carrying the weight of an enormous backpack that rubbed awkwardly on my shoulders. It was as if I had blisters on my heels, my clothes were wet through and there was sleet pelting in my face driven by a harsh wind. The journey was a painful one, an uncomfortable one, and worse, it was lonely. With my father dying, it feels more as if someone has given me a daypack to carry. It feels relatively light on my shoulders. I am fit and the path is largely flat. It is overcast but warm and dry. I find I don’t need a lot of help on this journey, and yet people choose to walk by my side, to ask how I’m holding up and to encourage me along the way. I pour my energy into resisting the urge to shout at them, even though every ounce of my body wants to ask them why they are here for me now when they abandoned me at the time I needed them most.

In the journey of childlessness, grief takes many forms. It’s not just about the loss of a child but also the loss of identity, relationships, and dreams. Let’s embrace the complexity of our emotions and support each other through the ups and downs.

Grief is isolating in a society that has forgotten the role of authentic community and values the privatization of emotion to the nuclear family structure. For those outside the nuclear family structure, another layer of isolation is added. When the natural world is treated as if it solely exists for resource extraction and personal gain, we eradicate an important generative source of belonging. We need to remember extensive kinship networks are available outside of the nuclear family and with other than human beings. We must maintain connections with this extensive kinship network to remain entangled despite the despair we encounter and the pull toward hiding. This means recognizing kinship with humans, other than human beings and the natural world around us. Amid this landscape of childless grief, maintaining filaments of connection to the broader world emerges as an essential aspect of grief work. It becomes a vital aspect of healing and resilience.

It’s Lucy’s 9th birthday today!! Lucy is my first pet. Ever. We moved a lot growing up so my parents didn’t want to have to give a pet away depending on where dad was stationed. Until I married John - I chose travel over a pet. We got Lucy when she was a little over 2 years old… so for 7 years she has brought us simple joy, laughter, goofiness and an unconditional love that I never expected. Especially through my childless grief journey. I get it when people say we don’t deserve our pets. Happy birthday Lucy!!! 😍 You get all the liver treats you want this week! #griefandjoy #childlessgrief #childlessjourney #reimaginechildless #embracingchildless #embracingchildlesstogether #childlesswomen #petbirthday #pupbirthday #dogbirthdays #petunconditionallove

This winter has been an incredibly challenging one. Still, I am bolstered by community (both online and in-person), spending time in nature, my relationship with my dog, my connection with my husband, conversations with my therapist, and my grief-tending practice. A relationship with grief not only serves my childless identity but also my whole being. The reality of being human is that grief and loss are pervasive and perennial - there is never a time when grief is not around, and we need an approach and skills to be with it and tend to it. Irish poet John O'Donohue says that life is a growth in the art of loss. Grief isn't an emotion. It is a core human capacity - if we can turn towards sorrow and engage with it - this deepens our capacity and creates a relationship with grief. Relationships aren't passive. To be fulfilling, they need regular attention. This relationship is where we pay attention, witness, be, and tend to our grief. With loving care and attention, the grief can soften. This attention allows us to move forward with our experiences and be curious about what is possible. My teacher, Francis Weller, beautifully calls cultivating a relationship with grief "An Apprenticeship with Sorrow." He outlines six elements he feels are necessary to engage in this apprenticeship. ​ Read the rest on my blog through the link in my bio and stories. #apprenticeshipwithsorrow #grieftending #griefritual #griefwork #childlessgrief #childless #childlessnotbychoice #childlessbycircumstance #childlessafterinfertility #pregnancyloss #womensupportingwomen #francisweller #embracingchildless #beyondchildlessness #childlessnotless

Friendship, and childlessness. Do you ever wonder... - where have all my friends gone? - how can my friends be so insensitive to my childlessness? - if there are so many childless women, where are they? and how do I meet them? As many of our friends move into parenting, we can find ourselves increasingly isolated and feeling like outsiders in couple-centred and family-centred relationships, social spaces and workplaces. Childlessness can deeply impact our friendships, asking a lot of them, and of us; sometimes more than those friendships can bear. Oh gosh, the painful feelings of being left out, invalidated and misunderstood. Friendships are so important in our lives. Finding ways to navigate old friendships and cultivate new ones, is vital for our wellbeing. I wonder what's helped you? This is a heart topic for so many of us, and there’s a lot to unpack and explore. We’d love you to join us. I'm so looking forward to sharing this conversation with the wonderful Jody Day @gatewaywomen and Sarah Roberts @theemptycradle. Huge thank you to Jody for hosting this webinar. It’s free to join. If you can't attend live, you can register and the recording will be emailed to you the following day.

A diferencia de mucha gente, amo los lunes. En parte porque los fines de semana ser una no mamá se siente más, pero por sobre todo porque amo el trabajo que hago para @sherijohnsoncoaching , me gusta mucho todo lo que aporta, su empatía, todo lo que me enseña y aprendo; por eso los lunes son algo hermoso donde puedo seguir conectando con mi propósito de ayudar a más no mamás a vivir felices. ¿Que sentís hacía los lunes? ¿Sabes cuál es tu propósito o aquello que te hace feliz? Mándame un DM para una sesión gratuita. Different to most people I love Monday. In part cause on weekends I feel more being a Childless woman, but most because I love the job I do for @sherijohnsoncoaching , I love what she provides, her empathy, everything that she teaches me and I learn; that's why Mondays are a beautiful chance to keep connecting with my purpose in helping more CNBC to live happy.

Como no mamás muchas veces nos sentimos juzgadas, criticadas y hasta atacadas. Realmente creo que eso y juicios por otras cuestiones siempre están. Aún asumiendo nuestra calidad de no madres, podemos elegir ser mujeres felices, con nuestra identidad y en los aspectos donde para nosotras se encuentre. ¿Qué opinas? Si necesitas ayuda para descubrir y diseñar ese camino, mandame un DM y agendá una primera sesion de coaching gratuita conmigo As Childless Women we often feel jugded, criticized and even attacked. I really belive that this and judgements for other things are gonna be there always.

One of my intentions is going to be to introduce some fun into my life. Grief, anger, and fear has made me lose sight of how important fun is as well. Knowing I won't have kids I turn to work to make sure I have enough money in case I'm alone when I'm old, I've said no to some events because I just don't have it in me to interact with others, or I'll hyper focus on distractions to cope. What fun things do you want to do this year? That voice inside telling you nothing is fun anymore is a trick. Ignore it. #childlessnotbychoice #childlessbycircumstance #embracingchildless #havefun #funaftergrief #childlesscommunity #childless #childlessness #childlesssupport #childlessgrief #lifecoachingforwomen #womensupportingwomen #newyearsintentions #newyear #fun

Day 49 of 100 in my @wool.and black Summer Midi and day 51 of my 90 day capsule challenge Ahhh… winter solstice the shortest day with the longest night. As someone who lives with childless grief - this season feels hard and messy. Grateful to be able to host a longest night call for other childless friends. To be with others who get it❤️ I also got a burgundy Everett for Christmas from my mom - so I tried it on and the wore it over my summer most of the day. It is so cozy. #woolandsummer #wooland100daydresschallenge #wooland #woolanddresschallenge #woolandmania #capsulewardrobe #travelcapsule #mercyandjustice #youthministry #project333challenge #threemonthwardrobe #longestnight #woolandeverett #childlessgrief #childlesscommunity

Feeling anxious about impending topics of conversation over the holidays? ⤵️ 🎄 ⤵️ It’s normal to worry that all people will talk about is parenting and kids, I get it! I’ve been there too!

Hi #creators ☺️👋 The holiday season can be such a difficult time of year for many people but it’s especially challenging for those of us who are #childlessnotbychoice or #childlessbycircumstance 💙 If you’re anything like me, you’re retreating into the quiet oasis of your own little world.❤️‍🩹 If that’s where you are right now, it’s 💯 okay. Take care of yourself. Nurture yourself with extra self-compassion & care. But most importantly remember that you are not alone. 💕 You are seen, valued, & so so loved. 🩷 If you’re a #childlesscreator like me, lean into your #creativexpression this season. 💖Your creativity is your superpower & can brighten your world even in the darkest of storms. ⭐️ If you’re feeling stuck or uninspired through this stage of your #childlessgrief try my 30 Day Gratitude Doodling Challenge (the link is in my bio) ☺️🫶 You can start the challenge anytime & use the daily prompts to guide your reflections & daily doodling work. ✍️〰️💖 #doodling is a great mood booster & helps to increase mindfulness. 🧠 💫 It’s also a fun way to explore your creative expression & refuel your creative energy. ✨🩷 You are more than your childlessness, you are a creator. 💝 Drop an emoji below 👇 that describes how you express your #childlesscreativity 💜 #wellthenshecreated #childlessandheartstrong

Tis the season for us dealing with infertility. It's a hard season a hard month. All the posts about elf on the shelf and doing all the magical things with the Littles. It still crushes me to see the happy family posts that I'll never get to post. It took me a while to figure out that instead of just being off of social media for the month. I snooze people for the month 😆 I know I know sounds mean but why put myself through that everyday of the month? I'm happy for the people that invite us and give us a heads up of doing things with the children in our lives and I am forever grateful for those memories. We love to be apart of things if there is enough time for us to go through the emotions and prepare ourselves for that day of family gatherings. Even though your there it's still a outside looking in perspective and it can be challenging. Enjoy the holidays at your pace and create new traditions for yourself 💜 And don't be afraid to take a step back and honor your feelings. Go easy on yourself. With the holidays grief can just appear so make sure you prepare yourself for those times. And most importantly talk to yourself with love. . . . . . . . . . #infertilityawareness #infertilitycommunity #infertilitysupport #childlesssupport #childlessgrief #childlesscommunity #hysterectomyrecovery #hysterectomy #endometriosissupport #endoawareness #endometriosiscommunity #griefjourney #holidaygrief

Ser una no mamá por circunstancia implica un cambio de perspectiva y de acciones después para sentirnos felices y plenas. Cuando no estamos haciendo las acciones para lograr eso, estamos elijiendo quedarnos en el dolor. Dejá de postponerte y empezá con un pequeño paso a vivir como mereces, disfrutando esta maravillosa vida.¿Qué acciones estás tomando hoy? Being a not mother by circuntances implies a mindset shift first and after that, taking actions toward feeling happy and whole. When we are not taking said actions, we are choosing to stay in the pain. Stop postponing yourself and start taking those tiny steps for living the life you deserve, enjoying this wonderful life. What actions are you doing today? #sinhijos #sinhijosnoporeleccion #sinhijosporcircunstancia #sinhijosporcircunstancias #nomama #nomadres #lasnomadres #lasnomadrestambiensonmujeres #nosoymadre #soymujernotengohijos #mujersinhijos #mujersinhijosporcircunstancias #infertilidad #infertilidadefeminina #childlesssupport #childless #childlessnotbychoice #coach #coaching #bienestar #childlessgrief #childless #childlessnotbychoice

Breaking news: You do not have to sit there and listen to people complain about their children to you period. Especially if you are at a point in your journey will it will cripple you mentally. I get it they may be a close friend but if you are struggling with this you can say hey this isn't the right topic to be talking to me about. Your allowed to walk away from moms in an outing that just sit there and talk constantly about their children. You do not have to be there while they complain about something you so desperately wanted and almost lost yourself too. Just like not attending event you don't have to attend conversations. Have a wonderful day!!! - TheChildlessAunt #infertilityawareness #infertilitycommunity #infertilitysupport #infertility #infertilitysucks #childlesssupport #childlessbycircumstance #childlesscommunity #childlessnotbychoice #childlessgrief #endometriosissupport #endoawareness

Sue Perkins (England, 1969): actress, broadcaster, comedian, writer. 📰 The Great British Bake Off co-host Sue Perkins has described how it felt like a bereavement when she was told a benign brain tumour in her pituitary gland had left her infertile. The writer and comedian revealed the 2007 diagnosis in her memoir, Spectacles, writing: “I cried myself hoarse till my eyes ran on empty.” In an interview, she said after the conversation with the consultant: “It really did hit me, as it hits a lot of people, I’m sure, when it’s too late, this is not going to happen. I can’t now have it as an out-of-sight, out-of-mind possibility, lurking. “It’s just not going to happen, it’s not going to ever be part of my life. And, although I never yearned to physically have my own child, it felt like a bereavement. It really did”.

Every year, I would promise myself, next year would be different. The heartbreaking realisation that I was approaching yet another Christmas single and childless overwhelmed me. I felt I couldn't do life right. How was I failing this simple task? It's simply what happens, you meet someone and have children. But I wasn't. I went through it alone. My closest friends mostly had their families. My mum was already not very present because of her dementia I would go to spend Christmas with my family. My aunt was a grandma, my mum envied her that and her pain was painful to see. My cousins were married and had children. I was failing at making my mum a Gran. Things were not different this year... I wanted to fast forward to a time I could relish in Christmas again. I felt invisible. 🖤 I wrote my book for anyone who can recognise this anguish.

I love the quiet in my little office. It's had a spruce, since I've only recently started seeing people face to face again, which has felt amazing. I need a new sofa in there, but for now, it works. My little Chloe also loves this space. She is not an official therapy dog but is usually sleeping there during online sessions. She finds the face to face sessions more challenging (due to her love of people and laps) and is therefore not invited into the room. 🌱 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #therapyroom #safespace #quietspace #therapy #counselling #Psychotherapy #support #talkinghelps #ivftherapy #ivf #infertilitytherapy #infertility #pregnancylosstherapy #pregnancyloss #miscarriagetherapy #miscarriage #childlessgrief #childlesstherapy #grieftherapy #grief #crossroads #uncertainty #therapydog

Si les hablaramos a los demás como lo hacemos con nosotr@s mism@s no habría quién nos aguantara. Entonces ¿Por qué somos tan crític@s e insensibles con nosotr@s mism@s? ¿Por qué no tratarnos con amor y entendimento de que estamos haciendo lo mejor que podemos? Te aseguro que hablandote bien, con amabilidad y compasión vas a llagar más lejos que con reproches y perfeccionismo. Tenés valor, mereces lo mejor y eso empieza con el diálogo interno. Por favor hablate bien, tratate con amor. If we say to other the things we tell ourselves, there would me no one left around us. So Why are we so critical and insesitive with ourselves? Why not treat ourselves with love and the undertanding that we are doing the best we can? I assure you treating yourself right, with kindness and compassion you will go further and judgement and perfectionism. You have value, you deserve the best and thats starts with you. Please speack nicely and with love to yourself. #sinhijos #sinhijosnoporeleccion #sinhijosporcircunstancia #sinhijosporcircunstancias #nomama #nomadres #lasnomadres #lasnomadrestambiensonmujeres #nosoymadre #soymujernotengohijos #mujersinhijos #mujersinhijosporcircunstancias #infertilidad #infertilidadefeminina #childlesssupport #childless #childlessnotbychoice #coach #coaching #bienestar #sisepuede #childlessgrief #childless

1st November in the old Celtic calendar was the first day of winter, and in current times it’s all saints/souls day. It’s a time when in the northern hemisphere we are more aware of the darkness, the need for rest/hibernation and a draw to go inwards. It’s natural to resist an emotional winter, perhaps tempting to migrate to hotter climates, as its presence can sometimes feel like a black hole. Yet when we embrace this with love and support, it’s often not the scary place we imagine, but shines light on new paths and gifts waiting to be discovered. Artist Credit: Alla Tsank

Sending lots of love if you have one of these coming up. Look after you. And that can mean so many different things for us all. Some ideas in case you would like them - Acknowledge Your Feelings: Your grief is valid - Self-Care: This might include taking a long bath, meditating, practicing deep breathing exercises, or going for a nature walk. - Journaling: Write about your feelings, thoughts, and memories related to the loss. - Create a Ritual: Develop a personal ritual or ceremony that allows you to honour the significance of the loss. This could involve lighting a candle, releasing balloons, planting a tree etc - Connect with our loving supporting community or anyone you trust that validates your feelings - Artistic Expression: Express your emotions through creative outlets like painting, drawing, writing, or music. - Volunteer or Donate: Helping others can provide a sense of purpose and meaning. - Therapy: If your grief feels overwhelming or you're struggling to cope, consider speaking with me or any other therapist listed in the World Childless Week Support Page. We can provide support and strategies to help you navigate your emotions. - Create a Memory Book: Compile photos, mementos, and written memories in a scrapbook or digital format to celebrate the positive aspects of what you've lost. - Set Intentions: Reflect on what you've learned from your loss and set intentions for how you want to move forward.
