Example Menopause Stories
Your Menopause Story
Dear Sheri,
Menopause was a short and easy experience for me. It started around 53 years old and ended two
years later. I had some hot flashes, but nothing too severe. It was great to finally be done with my period.
What a relief. Now onto the next part of my life. I know it's gonna be great!
Sincerely,

Sheri,
Thanks for the opportunity to share a part of my life that most women don't want to talk about.
I live away from my family, so I haven't really had anyone to talk to about it. I think it is good for women to talk
to eachother. Hopefully my story will help someone.
Well, menopause was an awful experience for me. I had perimenopause for five long years.
Really, my periods had been hard since I was 14 years old. It just seemed like they got longer and with more bleeding
when perimenopause started. Finally full blown menopause began. I felt like I was in a tornado. My emotions
were up and down. I felt like I was going to explode at everyone for anything. My husband would pick on me, which
definately didn't help. My kids thought I was going crazy. I tried herbs and medicines, but nothing fixed it,
some maybe helped a little. One minute I was up then the next down, one minute hot, then the next cold. My hair
was real dry. I was afraid I would lose it all! My husband really pulled away from me. I didn't know what to do.
I loved him so much, it just seemed like he couldn't do anything right. We fought a lot, I cried even more.
After a few years of this, we went for counseling and that helped some. Finally, I got over most of the symptoms.
I feel like a new person. My husband says the aliens took me away for 8 years and at last returned me to earth!
Well, now that menopause is over I look forward to a great rest of my life. I hope my husband doesn't go through his
mid life crisis now!
I hope it goes well for ya!

Menopause was fine. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't great.
I'm glad it is over. My mom had a really hard time of it, so I am glad it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
My grandma and all her sisters had hysterectomies. She said it was kind of normal back then. I'm glad it isn't
anymore!

Dear Sheri,
I hope menopause is a good experience for you. I have a little advice for you, but it is the most important.
Lean on the Lord Jesus for help. He is the only way we can get through things. Read your bible and pray and it
will be ok!
Love,
