Grieving loss of ability to carry pregnancy

I had a hysterectomy for medical reasons at thirty-five and now people tell me I can still adopt but they do not understand I am also mourning the loss of pregnancy itself.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

We can mourn not just the absence of children but the absence of the experience of creating them.
