“She’s just being grumpy!” this was what Dee would over hear while she was at work, about her.  What her co-workers didn’t know, was that, Dee was struggling with the pain from endometriosis.  She wrestled in her own mind about her behavior, how others felt about her, and the pain!

Dee struggled with endometriosis her whole life, even being told because of it she may not conceive.  Praise to God she was blessed with two children. Then she was faced with a big decision…was it worth it to stay in pain or have a full hysterectomy and give up her womanhood and the opportunity to have any more children? This would put her in medically induced Menopause. After surgery, she continued to toil with the fact that others her age couldn’t relate to what she was going through with menopause symptoms and the emotions around the surgery. Listen in on how Dee has used her Trauma for healing and holding space for others. She tries to be the person for others that she needed when she was going through this.
