I enjoy listening to others, in fact, it's my job.
When it comes to infertility, I fall short on my ability to listen.
It takes extreme patience, tolerance, will power, and strength to listen to someone talk about their pregnancy. Whether it be good things or bad things, I usually just nod, smile, and say as little as possible.
The problem is not that I don't care.
I care.
I care more than I am able to express.
The problem is my ability to objectively listen. I am not able to remove myself from my own situation, to have true understanding of what a pregnant person is going through. I long to be able to to do this, but I simply cannot.
It feels too close to my heart.
