Inspiring Story: Healing Through Sharing

Photos of Birth Without Fear Today one of my closest friends sent me this Facebook page (link below) and said, “You are not alone. Love you Jo.

She had the strength to go on after losing so much! Check out her Facebook post below. I recommend reading her story to the end. It’s very sad, but it has silver lining that really reminded me to keep hoping. I am currently in full swing of hormone injections for IVF and about to do my egg retrieval on Friday. I can’t think of a better time to read this story and be reminded that dreams do come true. I have also included a link to her Youtube video. Make sure to have a box of kleenx handy!
