Are you grateful for what you already have?

A young female doctor, Sapandeep Sahni, was found hanged in her bedroom after her latest course of IVF treatment failed.

Sapandeep's husband said that his wife was absolutely desperate for another child and they've been trying for about a year to conceive. The couple already have a daughter.

I'm pretty sure that a cocktail of injected hormones can make any woman feel incredibly emotional and even psychologically unstable. Even without a cocktail of drugs, women can make very irrational emotional decisions that often have detrimental repercussions on everyone involved in their lives.

It's sad that this woman was so focused on something she didn't have, something that didn't exist that the effects of not getting what she wanted would lead her to commit suicide. She chose to swap a life of being a young woman, a doctor, a mother and wife for death!

If I were her Maker and she came to the gates of Heaven, I'd have to say to her "sometimes, it's better to be grateful for what you already have instead of becoming tormented about what you haven't got".

Hello IVF Clinic India

Thank you for your comments. I'm relieved to know that you think my Blog is getting better and not worse! At least I'm taking a step in the right direction.

I'm a new reader August, so I'm going to go back to some of your older posts and diary entries to see if I agree with The IVF Clinic.

I like you. I like your blog. You know when to be funny and when to be serious. This particular one about suicide was thought provoking. I also agree with the ivf clinic, you just get better and better.

I've been having very dark thoughts lately. Me and my husband have been trying for a second child for 3 years and I've thought myself as a failure and got depressed. I've read your quote and re-read it and it's made me stop to think. It rang alarm bells.
