Difficult dates: how to survive the holidays when the baby is not yet

Christmas. Easter. Birthdays. Baby parties. Holidays, which should be joy, sometimes turn into pain when you are waiting for a child... and it does not come.

Difficult dates aren't just in the calendar — they're in the heart. And if you're into infertility treatment, you know how every invitation, every smile, every foreign belly can hurt.

What can help?

- Allow yourself not to participate — you do not have to go to every event.
- Plan the day according to your needs — let the holiday be yours.
- Create a new ritual — light a candle, write a letter to your future child.
- Find your support — partner, friend, therapist or group.

If tears still appear...

They're normal. You're not weak. You are simply in the most human pain — the pain of the absent. But she also passes.
With each holiday, with each year, with each step, you become stronger. And one day, right on a holiday, you will be with the baby you are now waiting for.
