My SIL is pregnant and having a baby shower (what in gods name is this nonsense...never encountered this before). I am currently TTC and have just been placed on waiting list for ivf. Understandably I am distraught at process and know our chances of success are low (I am 38).
I am struggling wigs the idea of getting through the baby shower and emotionally holding it together. Whilst I am delighted for SIL I don't feel that I am in a place to be part of the celebrations, I don't want to take away from her happiness, but sadly at the moment in my mind it is all about my own sadness and loss.
Am I being unreasonably to not want to attend? Should I make my excuses and not go or just be honest that I simply can't face this with everything that I am going through?
