DEALING WITH FRIENDS and FAMILY WHO DON”T GET IT
Are your friends and family compassionate, sensitive or intrusive?
They have good intentions and want to support you, but do they really understand? How can you educate them to be there for you? This is what we’re hearing from our friends and clients who are struggling to get pregnant.
Examples:
“My girlfriend invited me to her twins 1 yr. B-day party (with 20 other beautiful babies)”
“My sister-in-law with 3 kids and one on the way, calls daily with….how are you feeling…any news you want to share?”
“After hearing about my two miscarriages, my aunt and co-worker are both deciding….It’s time to move on and adopt!”
“My mom wants to give me the name of an MD her friend’s daughter is using…hint, hint”
“Since having dinners with our friends focuses on children, we’re in social hibernation and are losing friends fast”
What dilemmas are YOU facing with family and friends? Join us for a FREE TELECOACHING group in sharing your frustrations and concerns. Let us offer some useful suggestions in responding to these challenging issues. You deserve to feel more in control and confident in relating to those close to you.
