Infertility is a crisis, often silently brewing, within the fabric of our families, communities, and Church. According to the CDC, one in six couples now face a diagnosis of infertility. Infertility deeply affects the hearts and minds of couples everywhere, and we need better support and resources.

Many of us don't have pastoral guidance on how to navigate this difficult and unexpected situation that touches the core of our womanhood — until we learn how to enter into our suffering constructively, forge honesty with ourselves and God, receive his authentic love, discover our innate motherhood, and unpack the goodness within us that cannot be taken away.

Holding Space for Joy helps women struggling with infertility make this much-needed prayer journey and offers solidarity along the way. This prayer companion presents nine concepts that helped author Mary Bruno find true peace even before she became permanently infertile. With original prayers, song suggestions, and journal prompts, this book can assist in the healing process.
