Losing the Woman within

Losing the Woman Within explores the emotional impact that a hysterectomy may have on a woman; on her sense of self and her significant relationships. It covers the things that can create emotional distress after surgery, the types of emotions a hysterectomy can invoke and the effects these can have on such things as sexuality. It then goes on to offer simple suggestions to help a woman manage if it does occur. And throughout it is illustrated with the authors own story. The book also contains a journal that women can use to record their own progress through recovery from a hysterectomy. It contains a number of activities that may help someone suffering after a hysterectomy come to terms with their experience and move on in a more peaceful and self accepting way.
