Struggles with infertility are hard to handle any time during the year, but the feelings of disappointment may be amplified during the holidays. Mixed emotions can make it difficult to get into the holiday spirit. A unique gift can be the answer to help make someone who struggling with infertility feel a little more special.
Here are 5 ways to put a little sparkle and holiday joy into a woman’s life who is grappling with infertility:
1. Share something she can keep close. Something small – jewelry or a meaningful token – A memento that she can carry all the time that may offer some comfort and strength.
2. Take her out for a night on the town. Get dressed up and enjoy a night on the town– whether it’s a concert, a play or even just dinner – will provide her with some good memories to relive. You can always remind each other of these precious moments when trying times arise.
3. Get her a good book. Books or magazines about infertility can help it feel like a more relatable matter. Humorous reading material about infertility may also lighten the mood. These can remind her that she is not walking alone on this path.
4. Book a trip to the spa. A trip to the spa can give her relaxation and focus on positive feelings. This can take the spotlight away from her constant struggles with infertility.
5. Give her a journal. While it’s often hard for a lady to talk about infertility with people, it might be easier for her to write about it. A journal can help her write about the struggles, but also set goals and plan for the future. This could be the first step to a new year dream board.
While a gift will lift her spirits, perhaps the most significant part of a gift is that she knows someone is thinking of her, and that she’s got someone to talk to. The best feeling is knowing that you are not alone. Kindness and companionship will carry her through the tough times and remind her why she is trying so hard.
