Living Life in the Wait

# Living Life in the Wait

A group for women who hope to have a living child in their future but, for many different reasons, aren't there yet.
This space is for women navigating the often complicated in-between stage — whether you're currently single and hoping to have children in the future, trying to conceive, going through IVF or fertility treatment, experiencing pregnancy, baby or child loss, taking a break from trying, waiting to try again, or facing other circumstances that have left you in this waiting space.
The purpose of this group is to provide a much-needed break from the fertility and motherhood world. While everyone is welcome to share as much or as little about their journey as they feel comfortable with, this isn't intended to be a fertility support, counselling or venting group. There are other spaces for those conversations.
Instead, this is a place to step away from it all for a while — to meet women who understand the in-between without needing an explanation, and then focus on doing something enjoyable together.
You don't have to pretend this isn't happening, but for an hour or two, you don't have to live and breathe it either.
Meetups will focus on activities that move your mind or body and help you get out of your head for a while — trying something new, getting outdoors, being creative, exercising, exploring somewhere new, or simply having fun with other women in a similar stage of life.
It's about finding your people in the in-between — a stage where you may not always feel like you fit with people whose lives currently revolve around raising children, but you also don't identify with being child-free by choice.
While we wait and hope for our time to come, this is a space to live life now, connect with others, have some fun and hopefully leave feeling a little lighter.
Because life doesn't have to begin when the wait is over.
