I like your point about not encouraging people to keep trying once they've decided they're done. So important! We all need to value each others' own decisions that we're making for.. ourselves.

Finding peace at the end of the journey - no matter what the outcome - is so important.

She was SO at peace and went on to do such fun things in the next year without any tinge of sadness, that I was consumed with jealousy. She totally inspired me to think of the possibilities and begin to even be excited about the possibilities of a child-free future. You've inspired with this post alone and wish that I could have given it to my in-laws when things started to get pretty preachy. You will have an amazing life no matter this outcome. Because that's what amazing people do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714829068066461415.post-39044754226952119592012-11-19T03:33:05.506-05:002012-11-19T03:33:05.506-05:00Such an important post for the ALI community about...Such an important post for the ALI community about such a crucial difference in words...thank you for sharing this.jjiraffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223230253646995432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714829068066461415.post-90767371688942671222012-11-19T03:32:26.562-05:002012-11-19T03:32:26.562-05:00Well said indeed.

For those still in the trenches, I don't see it as giving up, but as an option that is OK. The whole ALI experience is so taboo, it's relieving to me to see what the options are. Choosing to live child free is an option, and it's not taboo. It's what is right for those who choose it. I think realizing your limits is SOOOO important in this struggle. Right now my husband and I are at different places. His limits have almost been reached and mine have not yet(I really do have a limit, I'm just not there yet). <br /><br />I love how you ask for the community to wish you peace in your decision. It is so important for the community to continue supporting all it's members regardless of where their journey takes them. I'm hoping this cycle worked for you, but if it did not, I'm happy to know you have found peace. SLES75https://www.blogger.com/profile/12877385793219947998noreply@blogger.com
