.....Are you having a hard time dealing with it? Are friends and family hurting more than helping you? Do you feel pressure from them or the culture at large to use methods such as in vitro fertilization (IVF)? Perhaps you are tempted by IVF, since nothing else, it seems, will give you the child you so desire. If any of this applies to you, then listen or read the talk by Dr. Marie Meaney.

.....This talk looks at the difficulties with which couples and in particular women suffering from infertility have to deal. After analyzing the temptations the woman has to face such as self-pity, anger, envy, not allowing herself to mourn, running away from the cross, this talk points out the wrong responses that people surrounding the infertile couple tend to give: telling them to get over it, being curious about the reason for their infertility, blaming them. These can stem from simple clumsiness, but often express a lack of compassion and the failure to stand under the cross with the persons who suffer.
