: We tried to conceive for a full year before the doctor discovered that I have an elevated prolactin level. He placed me on medication and two months later, we conceived only to miscarry in less than four weeks. That was in February. Thus far, we have had no luck. In the mean time, two of my three sisters have announced that they are pregnant. I feel so distraught. I do not understand why this is happening. I am missing their experience because it is just too painful for me to listen to them discuss their pregnancies. I pray for strength, but I do not feel any stronger, just worried that we will never have a baby. I have a difficult time containing my emotions and find myself crying more and more often. I feel lost and in need of support.
Dear Judi,
I just read your prayer request. Having walked in your shoes I completely understand how difficult it is for you to be excited about your sisters pregnancies when you are feeling such sorrow in your own life. I hope that your sisters understand your situation. The emotion you are experiencing is all so normal. I will pray for an increase of strength and courage in your own life situation and that God will give you the abundant grace needed to be the loving supportive sister you want to be.
