I applaud you and commend you for your courage to tell it like it is, and for creating a space where others can join you in sharing their feelings. I am a strong believer in the therapeutic value of the shared story. In the lack of a "school of life," we need to learn from each other and hear other's stories to know that we are not crazy and not alone. Your story is candid and poignant, raw and REAL! And you are a generous soul for sharing your vulnerability. I thank you.

Thank you Stacey, I cried reading this because for two years my uterus has been doing it’s absolute best to try to end my life. I’ve had to accept that having another child is not in my future despite how much I’d love that. Women aren’t given the space to express how angry we can feel about our biological challenges . Thank you for saying things others aren’t brave enough to

It's hard to find the words that express my feelings from this most recent writing. "Beautiful" and "profound" come first... "painful" pretty much captures it since I sit here with tears. I relate to your post on so many levels including the Elton John song with the high-cut danskins and leg warmers...a time in my life when I wore that too with particular dreams and visions of what might be ahead.

And here I am blessed to read this. Thank you.
