Surviving Childlessness: Faith and Furbabies : Steph Penny : 9780645062700 : 0645062707 : 01 Jun 2021 : Surviving Childlessness is a book for those who are childless through circumstances, childless-not-by-choice, childless by a medical condition, or childless for any other reason. We, the childless, were unable to have the children we wanted. We grieve the loss of children, the loss of hopes and dreams, the loss of opportunity, and sometimes, the loss of faith. This book brings thirteen childless stories to life from around the world. You will read their tales of tragedy, IVF, miscarriage, early menopause, donorship, faith, grief, hope and healing. You will also read my own story of becoming childless-by-forced-choice. With a few tears, a little laughter and lots of furbaby references (especially to my rescue cat, Portia), we find ways to survive the devastation of childlessness.There is a special chapter set aside for friends and family who want to support their childless loved on
