Giveaway! Infertility: Help, Hope, and Healing

*This giveaway is now closed.

Today is the final day of National Infertility Awareness Week. I have been made very much aware of my own infertility this week. It’s been a rough one. There have been many private tears.

And to be honest, I have craved this book, Infertility: Help, Hope, and Healing.

Today Mr. R and I are heading the the Utah Infertility Awareness Event which was organized by the author of Infertility: Help, Hope, and Healing, Kerstin Daynes. I have been craving this event all week. I need to be with my species.

If you have ever felt so heartbroken when you have a house full of people who are expecting that you hide in the bathroom to call your best friend just to hear the sound of her voice, this book is for you.

If you have ever cried yourself to sleep because of people who claim to be sensitive to your situation but have hurt you so deeply with their comments, this book is for you.

If you have ever texted your mom and begged her to remind you how special you are and that you can do hard things just to make it through the hour/day/week …and then you save the series of texts just to read over and over and over, this book is for you.

If you have ever felt alone in your disease, this book is for you.

If you have ever felt like banging your head against the wall because you want people to understand the emotional turmoil that is going on inside you and yet you just don’t have the words, this book will help you find them.

If you love someone that you think may be going through the gut-wrenching situations above, this book is for you.

I am giving away a copy of this book thanks to my friend and author Kerstin Daynes.

I am giving it away because it is something that I always have with me. Seriously, I keep a copy of it in my purse. I read it with a pen. Most of the book is highlighted. She gets it and inside the pages of this book I do find help, hope and healing.

You need one.

Even though I've worked in adoption sometimes I don't even know what to say to a friend who is infertile.

So while I would LOVE this book, I think I would rather have it for a friend who is just starting the infertility journey and really having a rough time. So here's to hoping I win it.
