Featuring international interviews by grief counsellor and researcher Lois Tonkin, this collection of first-person stories provides insight into the under-discussed situation of being childless by circumstance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach story highlights the different aspects of being childless by circumstance, as women move through their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and beyond their ages of fertility. The book explores feelings of grief and loss, and also how women adapt positively to their changed life expectations, finding excitement in the alternative, rich and complex shapes their lives have taken.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lois Tonkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785923374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785923371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Lois Tonkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442572669183,"sku":"9781785923371","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1939bf5b-39c4-4086-bb60-a51aac90601b.jpg?v=1777198297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motherhood-missed-lois-tonkin-9781785923371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
