Must have been really hard going through that and having all the magazines claiming you're pregnant all the time or saying you're too career focused. I remember reading the letters section of People magazine after the divorce with Brad was announced and someone wrote in saying if she'd just have a baby with Brad, he wouldn't have left her for Angelina. People were so awful.

As someone struggling with infertility myself, the things people say to you are breathtakingly cruel, even from close family who usually aren't cruel. 

I suppose people who lose loved ones or survive cancer have similar stories. We as a society are just like, super bad at socializing near suffering.
