Writings on Menopause

My apologies in advance for this folder. I don't write pretty things about "The Change." And frankly, I feel betrayed by the media for short-changing so many of us in the "info" department of this phase of life. What's the deal? I mean why be so secretive about the HELL factor? I know it doesn't have to be hell for a lot of us, but what about the percentage of us it nearly destroys?
Oh well, if you don't agree with me, you don't have to. Feel free to write your own experiences about the positive-ness of this change.
