I feel like there is so much lacking in my life. All I wanted was to be a mother. I get reminded by my mother that I haven't given her grandkids yet...
It's just hard. It's almost a little too late, or so it seems. All my friends have kids and families and I am losing touch with them, too....since they now have these families and kids - their priorities are changing and I don't have anything in common with them.
How do I deal with this? I almost feel like this life-long goal of mine will never be.

My sister-in-law always had always longed to be a mother and at 40yrs old had her first, she is an amazing mum. And to be honest it has been the making of her, she feels she has found her purpose in life. If you really want to be a mother you will find a way, sending you lots of positive thoughts and hugs
