The self-help group is in the process of being founded.

Unfulfilled wish to have children

Region: Jena und Erfurt

The pain of unwanted childlessness can be overwhelming. If the deep longing for a child remains unfulfilled, this often causes great suffering and lifelong grief over the existential loss.
This group is for women who are childless despite their deep desire to be mothers because they have never been able to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term for medical or other reasons. The focus is no longer on current fertility treatment, but on coping with the painful loss when it has become clear that the desire for a child cannot be fulfilled.
In the group, women should meet other women who understand this pain. Together we will seek ways in coping with the grief and pain of the children we will not have, find perspectives, exchange ideas on how to deal with incomprehension and hurtful messages from the environment, experience validation of our feelings, and provide each other with support and emotional support in a world where our loss and grief usually have no space.

Goals and tasks

The group is intended for people who have finished with the desire to have children and do not want to be alone with their grief. If you are also in a similar situation and would like to talk to other affected people, please contact us.
