Many women who have had their children go into it thinking they won't feel emotional because their womb space has done the job. Because the symptoms are so horrific and life burdening that they have relief knowing it is being removed and they will finally be able to heal. Only
to find after surgery, they feel overwhelmed with grief, emptiness, unworthiness and shame.

Feeling like no-one will find them attractive because they are 'damaged goods'!

 Others feel like there's just this unexplainable change within them. Their health has never been quite the same, body doesn't heal as fast and weight doesn't seem to shift so easily anymore.

Some women feel they have lost some strength within as the muscles have been cut and their support framework has been compromised.

Women who were not in their menopausal years begin early menopause, some don't but they aren't allowed hormone replacement and so they struggle with fears of what it will be like.

Speaking to doctors about this can make you feel like you're being completely unheard and the 'Medical Gaslighting' is real.

From counselling to support groups you can still feel very alone through your journey as many options are based on natural menopause, where-as we support women after hysterectomy. Women who may have had to transition before their body was ready to.

Many women don't have any other women in their circle of family and friends who are going through a similar experience and find they're comparing themselves to
others who haven't had a hysterectomy. Then wishing they could just go back, be
like them, even though you know you can't.
