National Infertility Awareness Week is such a great opportunity to educate about infertility and also support those warriors who are battling it. I have felt really blessed to have an army of friends and family supporting me, as well as people who are more like angels I have never met before.
When I thought I was having a miscarriage one thought came to my mind, “be brave.” I was pretty irritated with the thought, how can I “be brave” and go through this for the 4th time! I didn’t have anyone really to relate to that also had multiple losses. I felt totally alone. The only person I could think of was a super inspiring woman who I have followed on IG, @kellyejensen. Kelly has 7 sweet angel babies and I reached out to her. She was so kind and gave me words of encouragement. She also mentioned “be brave” and told me I was strong enough to have large amounts of courage. I felt so much peace that God was aware of me.
Moving forward I kept thinking, “be brave” and as my loss changed from miscarriage to ectopic I clung to “be brave.” Now as we are battling infertility and other complications from my losses I keep repeating “be brave.” I have a ring made from a darling little shop called @tesorojewelry that says, “be brave.” While I was ordering from the owner Jesse, I mentioned how much I appreciated her making me the ring and my 4 losses. When my order arrived there was the “be brave” ring and also a bar necklace with 4 tiny hearts. I cried and felt so much love from this girl I have never met. The name “Four Hearts Project” was inspired by her necklace.
We can be earthly angels like Kelly and Jesse were for me and support each other through hard things. If you are going through infertility I hope you remember you are also strong enough to “be brave.” 💪🏻
To keep spreading the goodness that was shown to me come back tonight for a giveaway I will be having for a “be brave” ring from Tesoro Jewelry. This isn’t sponsored by anyone, but just a gift from me to you trying to keep the love moving.
