“I’ve had many low points in my life, not to laugh, it makes me feel better. But I would say one of the most recent low points in my life is after my husband and I did our fifth round of IVF, which is a fertility treatment to have a baby and it failed and I just, I don’t know I was so depressed it was terrible. I didn’t know how to function but I did it. You know Brooke, to be honest, I know I’m laughing now but I still don’t think I’m over it. I’m in the mourning process and I’ve heard from many people that mourning never goes away. The depth of it just comes in waves, so some days it’s better than others, so some days I’m like ‘Oh I feel pretty good’ and then I’ll see a baby and I’m like ‘I can’t have that,’ and then there are some days where I’m like I don’t want to get out of bed cuz I would love to have a baby. I’d love to have a kid,” Instructor Wendy Mullan said.
