Calling upon her own experiences, CareNotes author Eileen M. C. Fera describes her years of infertility as loss. The inability to have the child one so desperately wants is an endless hurt, felt time and again with every thoughtless comment from a friend or family member and every discouraging doctor visit. Dealing with this repeated disappointment requires faith, patience, courage, and endurance. And Fera helps readers focus on their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being in sections titled: Admit there is a problem and get the facts, Take care of yourself and your marriage, Educate your family and friends, and Cling to your faith.
