I think that having Menopause awareness is a fantastic idea. Many of the women, within my workplace, are now going through this change and we try to help each other by talking about it. We agree that we are the first generation that are openly talking about this topic. We are all aware of our periods stopping when we reach a certain age, but it is a shock to many to discover all of the other issues that can arise from menopause and how frightening it can be. Well done Colart.
I totally agree with you Tina and thank you for making this comment….it’s up to us to talk openly about the menopause for our own benefit and for future generations of women. No one should have to go through the experience alone when there is so much that can be gained by sharing.
