IF awareness week

I stole a few posts from a message board and put a few of them together and I posted this on FB.  

Today is the first day of Infertility Awareness Week. Infertility is a disease that affects 1 in 8 couples....including us.

Infertility is, indeed, a very painful struggle. The pain is similar to the grief over losing a loved one, but it is unique because it is a recurring grief. It's the pain of the unknown. This process happens month after month, year after year. It's like having a deep cut that keeps getting opened right when it starts to heal.

Your infertile loved ones need your emotional support during this journey. Most people don't know what to say, so they wind up saying the “wrong” thing, which only makes the journey so much harder for their loved ones. Knowing what not to say is half of the battle to providing support.

I had no responses, except my mom's "like", which is fine.  But it makes me wonder, is the subject is too taboo and uncomfortable to discuss or is it that people just do not care?
