Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

One of my sisters started menopausal symptoms in her very early 40's. My mom was period free at 46. Many others still have their cycle active well into their 50's, even early 60's. What I'm trying (badly) to say is that every woman is unique. Your experience will be unique to you.

The changes we all face as we grow and mature in no way detract from our "womanliness". Most of the post-menopausal women that I speak to have found the lack of a period liberating.

Whatever the future holds in that regard for you know that you have a listening ear near by any time you want one! Hugs to you.
