Book Description
Our lives are full of disruptions, from the minor - a flat tire, an unexpected phone call - to the fateful - a diagnosis of infertility, an illness, the death of a loved one. And the ways in which we come to understand and cope with these disruptions can say as much about our cultural heritage as they say about us as individuals. In the first book to examine disruption in American life from a cultural rather than a psychological perspective, Gay Becker follows hundreds of people to find out what they do after something unexpected occurs. Starting with bodily distress, she shows how individuals recount experiences of disruption metaphorically, drawing on important cultural themes to help them reestablish order and continuity in their lives.

Book Description
Do you Love someone who is Infertile? is a guidebook for the husband, sister, friend, or parent who can't fix a loved one¿s infertility and may feel helpless. What you do, when she is facing the greatest crisis of their life, can either lessen her pain, or add to her grief¿but in either case, the relationships will be changed profoundly. This book invites the reader into her world and gives specific and practical guidance: what to say, what to do, and what to never say.

This guidebook brings hope to the reader who finally understands what an infertile woman needs and how to walk alongside her. This book is readable and inviting; it uses a magazine-type layout to draw in the reader with pictures, quotes, stories, and practical advice.
