I’ve been wanting to write about this for a while but kept putting it off…until now. It’s such a sensitive topic, one that’s often spoken in hush hush tones, behind closed doors.
A baby’s journey is more than just 9 months, or after they reach the age of 18. A baby’s journey is a never ending journey.
Most females feels that innate responsibility to reproduce at an early stage in life. Some do so with ease, while others are still on that journey.
I came across a meme photo of a woman expressing her frustration at the constant questions about her lack of motherhood. Almost at the age of 40, she had multiple miscarriages. She felt less than, not for a lack of trying. She and her husband had been trying to conceive for years. The barrage of questions only made the situation worst.
No one ever considers that these women have their own battles fighting. Apart from those women, what about the other women who just aren’t able to conceive? No miscarriages. Babies are just not in their favour.
These are the women that need to be celebrated. The few who never give up trying. The ones who are brave enough to get back up and try again. These women are the forgotten heroes. They smile just as bright on Mother’s Day, while slowly dying inside. These are the women who become the greatest Aunts.
The reality is, we are not all made to conceive. Some opt for adoption, while others sulk in silence.
These women should be celebrated, I see you, I celebrate you! I celebrate with you! Keep shining like the star you are.
