leaving the conference in tears of joy.... i missed that. one woman i saw leave in tears was crying because she was told several times that there is no hope for her now that she has been hysterectomized. i heard this conversation take place and it broke my heart. hers were not tears of joy. i personally do not find listening to horror stories about hysterectomy helpful or empowering. i also do not find lawyers and doctors who are making money from women who have been hurt by hysterectomy empowering either. most people have an agenda and that agenda may not be as noble as you might think.... just food for thought. i find them depressing. i was looking for hope. i was looking for something other than what some of you were obviously looking for. as i said in an earlier post, one size does not fit all. there are many organizations, web sites, etc. related to hysterectomy that are helpful; including the hers site. i personally needed to move on to a place of hope and healing in my life post-hysterectomy and i did not find that place at the hers conference. that is just my own peronal experience and that is all i'm sharing. for me, i was ready to move beyond the horror stories and find hope and healing. i had to look elsewhere for that. there is a time for everything though and i realize that. for women who have heard the horror stories and who are living one; i merely want to share that there is hope in god. he can restore in ways that no man can ever restore. i know this from a lifetime of hurt, tragedy and hysterectomy.
