“When the Doctors said that the final test results were not good, we knew we were at the end of the treatment line. We had flown into the country especially for this top Doctor and when he gave up then that was it.

All we needed was a place somewhere peaceful and where no one knew us, and we could just rest and gather up emotional strength to face the world again and smile.” 

“Physically weary. Mentally numb. Emotionally wrung out. I couldn't face walking back into my empty house, I just couldn't.

Coming home from hospital with empty arms we felt so broken. Where could we find the space to grieve?”

“Trying to build our family, my husband and I almost lost our relationship.

We desperately needed a peaceful space to emotionally reconnect.”

“Walking out of the hospital empty-handed to a place that would have embraced and pampered us with sensitivity and care, was something that we desperately needed after our loss.

Some situations, many people will never understand, Baruch Hashem, there is now an organization that does.”

Most people are not aware of the actual physical implications of working through a fertility treatment cycle.  The procedures are difficult as well as exhausting for both of the couple.

I didn’t need any prying eyes or questions to tip my delicate mental status and physically just didn’t have the energy to put myself through my regular daily routine.

I am writing to tell you just how wonderful this project that you are initiating is. I really needed a "mother and baby home but for moms without babies!" I feel that this respite home will fill a massive void in our community as well as offer respect and validation for those going through these difficult times.

As a counsellor working with woman dealing with infertility or pregnancy loss, the first recommendation is always - go take a vacation, as time is a natural healer. However most people are not able to afford this necessity due to the huge medical bills they are already dealing with.
