Customer Reviews

Thoughtfully written, touches your heart!

I found this book very helpful. Infertility is a lonely dis-ease to have. Reading the stories helps you feel less alone in your struggle. It is also very positive and encouraging about whatever outcome you choose/is chosen for you. And it's one of the few books that can be read by a couple that has tried everything but (for whatever reasons) decides/is forced to go child-free. Many other books end with the authors having a healthy baby, which can make you feel really left out if you and your partner are part of the percentage of people who don't.

Infertility's Anguish

Having experienced the pain of infertility, Dan and Jan Davis speak from the heart in this book as only they can do. It is apparent that the Davis' have resolved unselfishly to help others who are struggling with infertility and hope that this book will answer some of the questions, as well as serve as a good resource for these couples. I cannot imagine the pain, sorrow and anguish couples must face when they learn that conceiving and carrying a biological child is deemed impossible for them and not in their future. After reading this book, I can truly say I have a greater respect and sensitivity for childless couples everywhere.

Infertilitie's Anguish....Read All About It!!

Dan and Jan Davis have walked this road and are more than qualified to tell the story. A must read for the infertile and a must read for those who love someone who is infertile. I haven't read a publication that comes as close to the anguish that is felt living with an empty womb. The Davis's do a superb job of offering hope to the hopeless. Check it out for yourself.

Finally! A book that's been written for me!

NO NONSENSE! After having read MANY books about the journey of being childless, not by choice, THIS book covers this subject in a way that none others have. It includes such practical, real-life feelings, emotions, tips on how to endure such a heartache as never being able to conceive. I feel the best part is that it is written by both the husband AND wife. I would definitely advise even those who may know of couples who are learning how to live childless in a child-filled world to read this book as it discusses all angles of our loss. It can assist those who are closest to such a couple to really and truly understand the struggles we all face. Jan and Dan...you've done an EXCELLENT job in portraying 'life without kids' by circumstance. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU I'll be recommending this book to everyone in my circle of childless not by choice friends! A must for both male and female to read.

A Must-Read Infertility Book

This fantastic book, written by an exceptional couple who have experienced the anguish of infertility, relates stories shared by many couples who have dealt with infertility. While being an easy read, it covers difficult topics from "Realizing There's a Problem" to "Moving on with Your Life." Individual vignettes illustrate topics such as "We Won't Be Home For Christmas" and "Have We Done Something Wrong?" I highly recommend Infertility's Anguish for couples experiencing infertility. This book is also a "must read" for the couple's family and friends. Readers will profit from the wisdom in the stories and gain a better understanding of the couple's journey. In the process, family and friends will see how they can be sensitive and supportive. With more and more couples experiencing infertility, this is a timely book. I looked for this book ten years ago when my daughter and son-in-law started their journey with infertility. A book such as this simply didn't exist.
