Incredibly, Beyond Childlessness
is the only book of its kind. The authors talked to over 200 women, and the
book includes a wide range of women’s own personal stories and experiences
reflecting the myriad of reasons women can remain childless through
circumstances, rather than choice. Anyone who is learning to live with the fact
that she may/will never have a child, or that having had one child she will
never have another, will welcome this sensitive, practical and non-judgmental
look at a profoundly complicated and personal issue. The book is divided into three main sections: SECTION ONE: THE EXPERIENCE
OF CHILDLESSNESS Wanting a child – the dream Wanting a child – the reality The fertility business SECTION TWO: THE CHILDLESS
WOMAN & RELATIONSHIPS Relationship with self Relationship with a partner Relationships with the rest of the world Old age – fantasy and reality SECTION THREE: LEARNING TO
LIVE WITH BEING CHILDLESS Coping mechanisms Dealing with grief Alternative nurturing Alternative lifestyles Postscript: Do you have children?
