Sex, our ever changing body and the sense of loss that comes with that, let’s talk about it!
As a young disabled woman with chronic illness navigating intimacy has created an immense amount of Body Grief in its own right. It has been confusing, isolating, and quite lonely to say the least, but once I started to talk about it with friends I realized I wasn’t alone! Then, once I had my total hysterectomy a year ago and went through surgical menopause, my husband and I truly felt the grievances and shifts that many couples deal with later on in life.
Community helps. We all have our “tips and tricks” but in the end talking about it and working through the shame is healing in its own right!
This week in our paid subscription community, I will be answering all of your questions surrounding intimacy, sex and Body Grief!
“How am I meant to feel sexy when I am quite literally clicking my bones back into place, and propping up by body with braces and pillows?”
“Why does initimacy all of the sudden feel like a task now that my body has changed? Is it my fault?”
Make sure to sign up here so you can join in on the conversation and community!
Send any and all questions as a reply to this email, the responses/conversation will be up in the Body Grief & Gratitude Community next Monday the 17th.
See you there!
With Gratitude,
Jayne
