Journey of Hope: Love, Marriage, and Overcoming Infertility at 40 by Samantha Fitts, Ed.D. Pdf
There are some women who don’t have a desire to get married and have children. However, Samantha was not one of them. Many women in their late 30s and early 40s postpone marriage or childbearing to obtain their education, establish their careers, and become financially secure. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads to difficulties in finding Mr. Right or conceiving (or both). This can be an arduous and heartbreaking time of life, when it seems lifelong hopes and dreams of family may not be possible. Samantha delayed marriage until the age of 36 after she’d pursued advanced degrees and established her career—not entirely by choice since Mr. Right hadn’t entered her life sooner. At times she wondered if it would ever happen. Once married, she and her husband wanted kids right away, only to suffer a miscarriage and the devastating diagnosis of infertility. In this book, Samantha shares her extraordinary journey of hope. You will discover how her faith in God and perseverance led her to the right husband and overcoming infertility to have their first baby at 40. Don’t give up on your dreams, whatever they are. You still have time. Author Dr. Samantha Fitts is an educator/specialist (special education, literacy, education leadership, and adult learning), professional development presenter, and motivator. She has been in education for over twenty years. She is extremely passionate about helping others reach their professional and personal goals in life.

The book provides stress relief, support, hope and even encourages the reader to cling on to life, faith and love, especially when you’re at a cross-road and the end seems too far. Her experiences give an insight not only into the strategies to effectively handle infertility, but also any situation in life across the barriers of age, gender and background. The journey would resonate with many, make them understand how fortunate they are and would highlight the importance of being more empathetic and sensitive to others facing challenges. Rising like a phoenix each time she hit a roadblock, forms an integral part of her narrative. The book concludes with many learnings and takeaways. You’re sure to draw inspiration to pursue your dreams with rock-solid determination and faith despite all odds.

Ivf and Infertility, Our Journey by Verity Craig Pdf
Experiencing infertility is a painful challenge that can overshadow a person's life day in day out. It affects one in six couples. And yet, it is a taboo subject. When Verity Craig and her husband Paul found themselves plunged in to the uncertain world of infertility and IVF, they discovered it to be a world that no one discusses. They couldn't even find any books written by couple's who had actually experienced it themselves. That's when Verity, calling upon her experience as a journalist and magazine editor, decided to keep a diary of events that unfolded on their traumatic journey of trying for a baby in the hope that one day, as a book, it would help rid the taboo shroud that surrounds infertility as a subject and therefore help people that may read it on their emotional journey. If you are experiencing infertility and don't know which way to turn, and are also unsure of what those fertility procedures entail and of what that medical jargon means, then reading this book about a real couples' journey first hand may be just the support and inspiration that you need on your journey. You'll be surprised how normal those emotions and fears you're feeling actually are. "This book should be read by all the team involved in care. It will give them an in-depth understanding of the often very rough seas that the couple have to endure. Verity, a big thank you from me for helping other patients." Mr Michael Dooley, MMS FFSRH FRCOG "I believe that this book has a rich and detailed description of emotional and physical constraints that came with this journey easily described in a natural way without any artificial make up or masks." Mr Raef Faris MSc FRCOG "Making new life is the biggest thing on earth, and yet if we are struggling to do that, we are expected to shy away and not discuss it with anyone. Hopefully this book will change that!" Amanda "If you or someone you know is experiencing infertility, this book is a must read for women or men alike. I should know." Nigel "A story of sheer endurance, courage and determination! This book has helped me persevere my pain with hope." Hillary
The First Society: The Sacrament of Matrimony and the Restoration of the Social Order by Scott Hahn Pdf
Everyone seems to agree that Western Civilization is in trouble. The problem is that no one agrees on what has gone wrong or what to do about it. Some think we have too much government, some not enough; some think we have too much capitalism, some not enough; some think we have too much sexual freedom, some not enough. But what if the problem is much more fundamental? What if the problem goes to the very foundations of who we are as human beings in relationship with God? In The First Society: The Sacrament of Matrimony and the Restoration of the Social Order, Scott Hahn makes the startling claim that our society’s ills and its cures are rooted in whether we reject or accept the divine graces made available through the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Man, he argues, is social in his very nature. We were created for community. As it was in the beginning, so it remains today. The family, formed through the Sacrament of Matrimony, is the most basic building block of every society—whether we like it or not. We’ve corrupted marriage, and so we have a corrupt society. If we get marriage right, our society, through God’s grace, will flourish. This is so because Matrimony, like all the sacraments, heals and elevates human nature. Without marriage, our ambitions toward a just social order will remain forever foolhardy. With it, the seemingly impossible, a truly peaceful and humane civilization, becomes possible.
