Menopause

"Menopause: Embracing Your Midlife" addresses the struggles of women in their midlife. Menopause and adjustments are the words that best describe midlife for women. Women in their midlife have to make massive adjustments. The inability to adjust to these changes and developmental tasks affects their overall wellbeing.

Many women who undergo midlife transitions are either misinformed or uninformed, leading to maladjustments and stress. In this book, the author provides insight into understanding women, especially during their midlife transitional period. It addresses the challenges women encounter, such as menopausal syndrome, characteristics of midlife, developmental tasks, adjustments, midlife crisis, etc.

This book offers practical suggestions on how to make healthy adjustments and recommends interventions and proposals. It emphasizes the need for pastoral care and counselling, where midlife women may develop healthy coping skills and adjustments. It further recognizes the role of churches, pastors, professionals, society, husbands, and women themselves in developing better physical and psychological health reforms — the need of the hour for every woman.
