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.
We can mourn not just the absence of children but the absence of the experience of creating them.
“Where Are You with Infertility and the grief of wanting children?”
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
