Motherhood was something I knew I wanted from an extremely young age. In my twenties I was blessed twice with the opportunity to fill this roll. For a while, I wanted more, then I became ill. For over a year I struggled with extreme exhaustion, intense pain and the inability to meet most of life's needs for myself and my family. In January of 2021 I had a life saving hysterectomy. Multiple fibroids had developed on my uterus. One, the size of a lemon, was pushing into my bowels wreaking havoc on my vagal nerve, digestive system and life overall. With a hysterectomy comes grief of many colors. More shockingly, I had to deal with the views of others expressed to me about what I should or should not be doing with my body. If you are dealing with any hidden or unhidden hardship related to having or needing to have a hysterectomy, you are not alone. I am here to listen and support you through this difficult process.
