I am in the process of being diagnosed with a debilitating chronic illness that will reduce my quality of life and may cause me to be infertile. How do I move on?

I'm really sorry to hear that. I can't begin to understand your pain. Would you be open to fostering or adoption if you couldn't have a child? What about working with children who are disadvantaged? Or some other church ministry or missionary work, or charity work if you aren't religious? Besides having children, what else would you and your husband like to accomplish together? What are your talents? Is there a particular skill or trade you'd like to learn? It may be difficult, but when you feel up to it, try to think about some other goals you'd like to set.

First off, I am so so sorry that this is happening to you. April will be two years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 23 years old.

•cry. Let it all out. Don't feel like you have to be strong at this moment. There will be time for strength later. This is unfair and it is okay to acknowledge that.

•don't feel like you have to figure it all out today/right now. Take it one day at a time., one hour at a time, even 1 minute at a time if you need to. Find doctors you trust and TRUST THEM.

I am praying for peace that passes understanding and wisdom for the coming days.

If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.

I am sending you such a big hug right now.

I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through. You can start by counting your blessings every day. Focusing on the positive and gratitude will help your mental health and well-being, which can impact your physical health in a positive way.

I don’t know the nature of your condition, but I also have a somewhat debilitating illness that will likely prevent me from having children. I’m also 32 and single. Having a supportive husband by your side is such a blessing so don’t take it for granted! In the worst case scenario, adoption and foster care are good options. Adoption from the foster care system is free too.

I hope you’ll be getting some good news! If not, just make sure to keep taking care of your mental and physical health and let that be the priority for as long as it needs to be, until you can find some stability in your new normal. You can find the strength to face your challenges with grace. Best wishes to you!!
