The Diagnosis Blilt

This is the Diagnostic Blilt, the first of many virtual quilts that stand as a testament to the experiences of the infertility and pregnancy loss community. These are the unique reactions to single moments in a journey. Whenever possible, the squares of the quilt are linked back to the author’s blog or email address. This gives the viewer a chance to connect with a like-minded person experiencing infertility or loss and read more of their story. Therefore we encourage you to click on any square and learn more about the author’s story. Take a moment to leave them a comment. Like an actual quilt, the Blilts have a chance to share a moment of warmth between two unrelated individuals.

Contribute your own reaction to your own diagnosis in the comments section. The Blilt projects are always open and we will be continually adding to them as new words come along from future members of the infertility and pregnancy loss community. Click on the hyperlinked words in order to learn more about the Virtual Quilt Project and how you can contribute.

Awesome. I’d like to contribute too.

For me, the reaction was

“Oh good, that’s an easy fix.”

Turns out I was WAY off.

This is so powerful. I realized as I read each of the responses that while I only submitted one, each of the other responses also described how I felt and rang true to me. It was as though I was in an echo chamber. Just goes to show how multi-faceted our emotions are at any given time. Thank you again for reminding me that I’m not alone.
