Thank you, Jeni O'Dowd for Lifestylenews.com.au, for the opportunity to share part of my fertility story - to help build awareness of the challenges. I’m also deeply grateful to now be a first-time mum at nearly 51 to a beautiful three-year-old boy. lifestylenews.com.au/post/vf-loss-a…

Therapeutic change is a process of insight, integration, and relational repair - emerging not through force, yet through feeling understood and supported.

This is such a great read in @guardian with realistic examples of what parents need to say to their child as opposed to what doesn’t work. Fabulous article @yumichild! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
