A sad goodbye to TTC...

Well said RM (as usual)

Thanks Hapi

Strikkie try not to have regrets about the age thing. Personally I have made peace with the fact that my husband came late into my life, but the reward is that I have a wonderful marriage and am blessed with my little Ethan even though I sometimes wish for the energies of a twenty year old.

This TTC journey is such a personal thing to each person who has walked its often long, painful and very bumpy path.

No one knows what is at the end of the journey, or how it will end, and no one can tell you how to travel or what to pack!

Each person gets to decide how far, how long or how much they want thier feet to bleed, before they decide to walk another route, or give up the journey, or possibly focus on other horizons.

I think the "regret" issue is the one that will bite you in your arse and wake you up at night if you allow it to creept in.

I think if any of us look back along the path for too long, and start second guessing what we did and why we did it, and why we did not do more, it is the thing that will do more damage than any number of bleeding feet.

LoriF - I hope you do have your mourning period and I hope that you are able to find your peace in it, what ever it is. I do think you need to take as much time as you need - - so many people feel guilty because they think that they have been sad too long and need to move on.

Maybe you do move on, maybe you don't - you get to decide that when you are ready and you also get to regress if you want.

Journey well travelled Girl !

(((hugs)))

Hi Lori, its also abit age related so i can kick my own ass, but its water under the bridge.

Thx Julz!!

Julz Moomie needs an "Like" button - spot on

Another Melancholic Aries here! Hence my struggle with depression and the need for constant therapy.

LoriF it is perfectly understandable that you are mourning. You need to. I think that is why we Ariens are so strong. We allow ourselves the time to feel the pain before we move on!

Strikkie I feel for you too. x

Kristen when is your birthday? Anyway as fellow Arien (not to be confused with Arian - which will get us into a lot of sh*t in the US) you get that being in limbo can be very distressing - to the point of depression sometimes, so yes its hard, but got to move on. On the other hand, as long as you have not made that decision there is a tiny bit of hope left. But once you decide this is it, you kill that hope. In fact I actually feel that death - I feel like I am in mourning - does that make sense or have I finally lost the plot??

Strikkie thanks for that hug . If I may ask what would bring the ttc journey to an end for you, i.e. have you and your partner set a timeline?
