 | pity party Dec 13, 2006 |
| This book spent the first several chapters helping you know how to best feel sorry for yourself and understand your grief. It does have some good information in it also but I sure could have done with out the pity party section. My wife and I need the answers not sympathy. | | |  | Comforting and informative... a MUST HAVE Nov 29, 2005 |
| I am so glad I happened upon this book! The personal experiences of Sandra, the expertise of Dr. Bill, and the spiritual issues addressed in this book have been an invaluable resource to my husband and me as we have struggled through the difficulties of infertility. This book is a terrific guide to anyone going through infertility themselves or any lay person or clergy helping a couple that is struggling. Rarely does one find a book that balances medical terminology and its great detail with the emotional and spiritual aspects of the patients' experience, but this book does. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone that is beginning the journey of infertility as it clearly gives medical information. More important to me, though, was the biblical content that reminds us that we are NOT alone through this process, that God is still God, and that the emotional roller coaster is a normal thing. Not to mention the chapter that deals with handling well-intentioned advice... great content there, too! :) | | | | Good resource May 24, 2005 |
| Very good resource if you are considering the ethical implications of IVF and infertility treatments. | | | | Practical information with heart May 9, 2005 |
| Right around this time of year, sermons about Mother's Day and the beauty of parenthood bring grief to those experiencing the hellish ride of infertility. Though I have not personally experienced this, I have walked with several friends that have. This book was invaluable in helping me understand the medical, spiritual and emotional issues facing infertile couples. Glahn's personal story is woven throughout, giving the reader glimpses into the pain of infertility. Cutrer offers the reader practical and sound medical advice, gleaned from years and years of treating infertile couples. Both grapple with theological questions like "Is infertility a curse from God?" and "Why did God create sex?" Perhaps the most helpful chapter detailed the well-intentioned (but painful) things people say: Just relax. You can have my children for a weekend. If you adopt, you'll conceive. Just trust God. The latter half of the book deals with the ethics of medical intervention in an honest, non-alarmist way. If you are looking for an infertility manual with heart, pick up this book. If you are longing to love a friend or family member through infertility's minefield, read it for understanding. | | | | Comprehensive and poignant Apr 14, 2005 |
| The Infertility Companion is just that: a companion. Like a survivor's guidebook, it covers the vast array of situations, dynamics, decisions and procedures couples dealing with infertility often face. It offers insights and suggestions on everything from handling doctor's visits to protecting your marriage, as well as helpful explanations of complex medical terms and options. I personally have found this book to be an invaluable resource, as my husband and I have waded through, what has turned out to be, the most complicated and difficult journey of our lives. Glahn and Cutrer are to be thanked for not only writing a superb resource, but also for offering true compassion and understanding through the pages of this book. | | | Write your own review about Infertility Companion
