(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Going through ​
infertility
​ during the ​
holidays can be difficult,
​especially since most holiday events involve ​
families with young children.
​It i​
s important to remember that no advice is going to take that pain away from those who are having difficulty conceiving.
​However, here are a few
suggestions on how to
​best ​
​be supportive of​
a friend or a relative who is experiencing infertility issues during the holiday:

Don't be afraid to ask. Many people think the best way to handle
​the subject of​
infertility is to
​avoid the subject​
. In this case, things are not better left unsaid. Go ahead and ask them how they are doing. Give them the opportunity to talk if they want. Chances are they will open up and be grateful that you cared enough to ask.

Lend an Ear. Take a few moments to lend an open, non-judgmental ear to your friend
​ or ​
family member who is experiencing fertility issues. Be supportive and empathetic. Often they just need to know that others hear their struggles and they will appreciate being heard.

Plan a fun activity.
​Fertility​
treatment
​s​
can become very
​overwhelming and heavy on the heart and mind​.
Fun activities can be soothing to the soul. Ditch the requisite holiday party and book a spa day, go for a pedicure, or go see a funny movie. Your friend will appreciate the effort.

Go for a walk together. Often times people going through infertility keep a lot inside and don't always feel comfortable sharing. Offer to go for a walk or plan a hike through a scenic trail. Long walks in a beautiful setting helps to clear the mind from anxiety and depression.


Share and share alike. Just because your friend is going through infertility doesn't mean that you shouldn't share what is happening in your own life, good or bad. Don’t be afraid to share. People going through infertility often love to hear the latest updates in their friend
​​
lives as a welcome distraction.
