Coming to terms with not having children

Coming to terms with not having children

Long story short, I have a list of chronic illnesses that have continued to worsen over the years. Hubby & I have been together for 12 years & now in our early 30s. We tried unsuccessfully for 2 years for a baby, whilst I was undergoing treatment. It now seems less & less likely that I can conceive & go full term. He feels it's unfair to me to try & carry/raise a child when I am so unwell. After all, he can only do so much! What kind of life would this kid have is Mum is always unwell? Neither of us feel adopting/fostering is an option. How do I move forward knowing my dream of having a family can never happen?

Have you thought about using a surrogate?
