What They Don't Tell You

The day after my hysterectomy I felt this complete and utter emptiness. Aside from the mountain of drugs  after my surgery, I knew that the change in me was permanent. There would be no way to bear my own children, I would never know what it felt like to have a life grow inside and come through me.

I know that an adoption is still a viable option, and I will take the steps to make it happen. Being a mother is still one of my goals, but what they don't tell you, is how long and hard the road will be.
