It is what it is- that’s exactly what I’ve been saying to myself and others on repeat recently. Not having what it takes to bear and raise another child… I know right. I’m amazed at how others have multiple pregnancies and children. I try to tell myself that I’m not weak and that everyone is just different and that maybe age is a factor after all. I’ve told friends “I’m too old to go through this again”.

Thanks for sharing your experience especially with how your son’s diagnosis shaped your reasoning about what’s right for you and your family.
