Hi Janine, so sorry for you and your SIL. Through all my ups and downs of failed cycle, I found what really helped me was when my girlfriend (the only one I told) was just there... she didn't say much. She cried when I cried and we did a lot of hugging... she just listened while I spoke about my fears, doubts, pain...even about how much I hated the situation I was in and sometimes I ranted on about unrelated things as well....she always comes during BT times (she later told me) just in case I needed a shoulder to cry on....so yes sometimes we feel we have to say something but in truth silence empathy speaks louder than any words we could utter. I pray that your SIL's dream come true one day.
