All my friends are currently announcing their 2,3, and even 4th child with some not planned and here I can’t even have one with so much assistance 😢

It’s okay to cry those tears and that doesn’t contradict your happiness for your sister. Loads of virtual hugs!

I have had this feeling multiple time in life. I am 39, single, and no children. I love kids and want a baby badly. Last night my 22 year old sister announced that she is pregnant. While I am ecstatic for her and my new niece or nephew, it hurts. In front of her I was excited, but did allow myself tears during my prayers last night. I know God has plans for me and this baby is a blessing.

Shalom Melanie Chana,
What is your full name and your mother’s? I’ll pray for you! It’s so hard to balance the joy vs. your own pain.

And yes, my name means rest!

Thank you for sharing. Its true there are so many out there really struggling in the midst of truly trying to be happy for a dear friend or family member. I am praying to be able to conceive after a miscarriage in October 2017. I was 9 weeks along and pretty devestated. A dear friend of mine, living in a house connected to mine was also pregnant. She carried her baby to term and delivered and I was painfully there the whole way to support her. I even missed her baby being born by only 5 minutes. I really do rejoice with her but my arms ache for my baby and there is always a question-why my baby? I have been blessed with two miracle babies, now 4 and 2 and couldnt be happier with them, but every time I even see a stranger pregnant let alone hear a newborn cry nextdoor it strikes a chord in my inner core…reminding me of the sorrow, the pain of empty arms. I believe all thibga in life are for a purpose and I know we will be blessed again, I just have to wait and hope and trust…and not stress. G-d is sovereign. He creates life and takes it away..blessed be His name.

I love your name! It means rest, right?

HI Sara, sometimes just allowing yourself to have those emotions and legitimizing it for yourself is a step. I hope and pray that you’ll get your little blessing real soon!

I have never felt so empty and depressed . With religiously trying and praying for almost 2 years and seeing friends , co workers and now my sister having a baby boy last week I can’t help but feel low when I’m trying to be happy for them . They were pregnant within a few months some without trying while I sit here every month praying and nothing . I honestly don’t know how to handle or cope with these mixed emotions.

Right, I think it’s on those of us who are parents to be sensitive and understanding. We know the blessing, we should also know the pain. I think it’s something that those who have been through it can relate to the pain more.
