Parents experiencing infertility experience many of the losses of childless individuals, but have unique issues to confront as well. Often, theirs is an unacknowledged loss which increases their sense of isolation. This book incorporates the narratives of 60 individuals coping with secondary infertility and draws on their experiences to validate the loss and suggest strategies for moving forward.
