I’m going through this too- grief and perimenopause combing to make this phase a living hell every month. I try to explain it to my husband and he just looks at me blankly. It’s like stepping into an abyss. Thank you for writing about this.

I’m glad you could relate but also really sorry you could relate ❤️ My (female) doctor was like “Unfortunately there isn’t much research about this because it affects women,” which was validating but also very depressing.

It does truly suck. I didn't have to face both menaces at the same time, thankfully. It seems extra cruel of the universe to send grief and perimenopause, overlapping in one swell package.
