Reading a good book called the "Female Brain" loaned to me by a friend when I brought up the other menopause phenomena... 'ship jumping.' Women around the 30 years of marriage mark, or more accurately 50+ years old are bailing out of their marriages, or maybe out of their skin. Is all the physical pain we've been experiencing, shifting hormones, or depression? Do hormone shifts require a self-love journey that allows us to focus on our own health? Because alkaline producing foods, no grains, lots of fresh honest foods has reduced my discomfort immensely.
Are we being pushed to live for ourselves (which may include family and lover) as our hormones are no longer driving us to protect our young, or ourselves as a mother?
So for some, "goodbye to the so-called-protecting-male", who was a primitive part of the whole child bearing thing might make sense. But not for those who had a friend all this time. :) Because, besides the shifts in the body, which I also have experienced without much guidance, I'm also looking (so it seems) for friendships like I had before the kids, warm, validating, silly, artzy, grounded, a little dangerous (lol). Maybe it is a birthing we're going through? :) Either way, I have figured out a couple of things...healthy natural simple foods (maybe a lot more raw), and deep listening to your new voice and letting go of the old one. Ya, it's a sort of a birth, :)
