(Rosa Miller) Rosa details a very personal and inspiring memoir through her and her husband's experience to grow in faith and family. If you are expecting perfection, you will not find it here. You will only find shades of yourself and tools to help. We were never meant to be perfect and faith is not belief without doubt. It is belief despite doubt, trial, failings, suffering, naysayers, and circumstances""life. And this is very much the story of life. We know these walls of reality. Faith is strengthened by the unchanging decision we make on a day-to-day basis to follow through. With grace, determination, and a very human nature, we see the journey of one little seed of faith as it faces the lifestyle that is infertility. We listen as it is tried and found wanting. Listen as it flexes and grows. Here is the hope you were looking for. The voice to give you support, in experience, story, scripture, and insight, to guide you on your path. The equivalent of the call in the wee hours to the friend who gets you. The solace to tie your sanity to. Some answers in the dark. You are never alone.

Book Synopsis Understanding Reproductive Loss by : Dr Carol Komaromy
Download or read book Understanding Reproductive Loss written by Dr Carol Komaromy and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of human reproduction has focused on reproductive ‘success’ and on the struggle to achieve this, rather than on the much more common experience of ‘failure’, or reproductive loss. Drawing on the latest research from The UK and Europe, The United States, Australia and Africa, this volume examines the experience of reproductive loss in its widest sense to include termination of pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, perinatal and infant death, as well as - more broadly - the loss of desired normative experiences such as that associated with infertility, assisted reproduction and the medicalisation of 'high risk' pregnancy and birth. Exploring the commonalities, as well as issues of difference and diversity, Understanding Reproductive Loss presents international work from a variety of multi-disciplinary perspectives and will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists and other social scientists with interests in medicine, health, the body, death studies and gender.

Download or read book Infertility written by Annette L. Stanton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a researcher whose work focuses largely on the causes and conse quences of unwanted pregnancy, I may appear to be an unlikely candidate to write a foreword to a book on infertility. Yet, many of the themes that emerge in the study of unwanted pregnancy are also apparent in the study of infertility. Moreover, this volume is an important contribution to the literature on fertility, women's health issues, and health psychology in general, all topics with which I have been closely involved over the past two decades. Neither pregnancy nor its absence is inherently desirable: The occurrence of a pregnancy can be met with joy or despair, and its absence can be a cause of relief or anguish. Whether or not these states are wanted, the conscious and unconscious meanings attached to pregnancy and in fertility, the responses of others, the perceived implications of these states, and one's expectations for the future all are critical factors in determining an individual's response. In addition, both unwanted pregnancy and failure to conceive can be socially stigmatized, evoking both overt and subtle social disapproval. Fur ther, they involve not only the woman, but her partner, and potentially the extended family. Finally, both of these reproductive issues have been poorly researched. Because both are emotionally charged and socially stigmatized events, they are difficult to study. Much of the early literature relied on anecdotal or case reports.
Download or read book Infertility written by Sandra R. Leiblum and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infertility: Psychological Issues and Counseling Strategies is a valuable reference for mental health professionals who treat individuals and couples grappling with the psychological and emotional strains of infertility and its treatment. Drawing upon their professional experiences as well as the current literature in the field, leading practitioners consider the differences in how women and men react to a diagnosis of infertility and describe strategies for helping individuals deal with the anxieties, feelings of inadequacy, and low self-esteem that can follow such a diagnosis. These experts examine the effects of infertility on love, sex, and other facets of a relationship and detail methods for helping couples resolve conflicts about infertility. They explore the latest findings on pregnancy-related stress and its possible somatic effects, and they describe effective stress management techniques. They offer practical guidelines for helping patients to cope with failed fertility treatments and manage the grief of a miscarriage. And they examine a wide range of clinical issues surrounding alternative routes to parenting, including adoption.
