Musings of a Used to be Mother: When one woman's children flew the coop without her permission

By April McMurtrey

This is a raw and honest story of what could be considered a second postpartum depression, which happened 18 years after the first. What is a mother to do when tiny noses no longer need to be wiped, shoes no longer need to be found, or lunches no longer need to be made and placed into small forgetful hands? How does this newly middle-aged mom now fill her time? How does she cope with important questions like, "Have I done enough?" "Did I teach them everything they need to know?" And the glaring, smothering question, "What am I supposed to do now?" Follow the author on her journey through the agonizing, yet enlightening process of letting-go. Is there life after children? If so, what kind of life is it? Could it possibly as rewarding and fulfilling as the raising of small and medium-sized human beings? Discover this mother's, and perhaps every mother's, answer to this heart-wrenching question. How does one deliver their child - twice?
