When the Desire for Children is Painful w/ Chris O'Neill and Clare Kane
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
Many of us in this community have struggled with the fact that we desire children so badly but that that desire is – at least to some degree – unfulfilled. In this episode, Jillian explores this important question with Chris O'Neill (Director, Office of Marriage and Family Life, Archdiocese of New Orleans) and Clare Kane, LPC. They'll talk about: – How should we understand our desire for children on the path of infertility – Why this desire is good and whether or not we should ask God to take it away – Ways in which this desire can bear all sorts of creative fruit in our lives It is our honor to walk with you! Springs in the Desert offers peer-based support to those struggling with infertility and pregnancy loss. It does not provide medical services, psychological counseling, or therapy. This information should not replace professional medical and psychological services. Find trusted grief coaches, counselors, and spiritual directors on our website.
About Podcast
At Springs, we know that infertility is a heavy cross. But as Catholics, we believe that by keeping our focus on Christ, we can come through this season of waiting stronger in faith and love—no matter what happens. So each week, we’ll bring you a conversation that gets to the heart of the infertility experience – including primary/secondary infertility, miscarriage/loss, childlessness, and more.
