Supporting Someone Struggling with Infertility

When someone you care about is going through infertility, it can be hard to know what to say or how to help. You may feel unsure, worried about saying the wrong thing, or afraid of bringing up something painful. That hesitation comes from love — a wish to support without hurting. But silence can feel like absence. And sometimes, the most meaningful support is simply showing up in quiet, respectful ways. Infertility is not just about the physical challenges of trying to conceive. It is an emotional, relational, and often spiritual journey. It can be lonely and invisible, especially when others do not know what to say or unintentionally cause more pain with well-meant advice. This post is for anyone — friends, family members, or professionals — who wants to walk more gently beside someone carrying this tender kind of grief.
