How to Help your Wife Deal with Infertility during Mother's Day

And happy Monday! Anybody else having a great, easy Monday? Oh my goodness, hold on to your seats. So what we're talking about today is I want to help you through next weekend with Mother's Day coming up. If your wife is going through infertility, I want you to have some tools in your toolbox for you to be able to help your wife and for you guys to communicate during this time that can be really emotional and really stressful. So I want to also check and make sure that I have audio today because I have had problems here. So just give me one and let me see, do I have audio? Awesome. I have audio. Okay. So the first thing that if you're watching and you're a guy, this is for the guys. But it can also be for the mom's daughter who might be in fertility, the sisters and things like that. So don't make any assumptions about how she's feeling. Ask her what her thoughts are really about Mother's Day and what kind of, um, it is bringing up in her. Does she really just want to focus on her own mom? Does If you're experiencing secondary information, I'm going to slow down so I can talk. If you're experiencing secondary information, does she just want to focus on today with you and your children currently? But now she explains how she wants to celebrate and also how you're feeling. Okay. It's really just like, ask her how she's, how she's doing, but share with her what it brings you. And that, and that is more connected, and it's going to help her feel less alone in the process. Okay. So if her mom is still living, or if your, the mother-in-law is still living, Don't obligate her, um, brunches, lunches, uh, church services, going— doesn't want to go on her because, um, there's nothing worse than sitting there gritting your teeth through something that you don't want to be at when you're just like tears the whole time. So this goes back to the previous, like, no one conversation. You know, if she's not really feeling it and she can't get, you know, like, make it out of the house, don't put any pressure on her, okay? Just ask her, make excuses for her or whatever, so that if you need to go and spend time with your mom, or maybe, you know, you need to explain to your mom, her mother-in-law, you know, that maybe, um, you'll have to see her another time. Saturday or on Monday or something and stay on a different day other than Sunday because your wife needs you. Okay, um, that makes me, uh, brings us up to 3. So it's really great if you can, um, choose to move those other Mother's Day obligations, um, to another day if the two of you, you and your wife, can spend a really neat together, maybe doing something that you've always wanted to do in your own town, or do a day trip, like create a special day if she's up for it, something maybe outdoors that is not going to be, you know, where she's not going to be surrounded by a bunch of people celebrating Mother's Day. But really, whatever it is that you— and that would be something special that the two of you could experience. To get a change of scenery, if you will, right?
