This weekend in the Guardian, Ruth Wishart talked about the decision she and her husband made not to be parents. Her story is a more difficult one for some readers of this blog as she did feel some sadness at not having had children. And yet, despite this, the writer reflects on the many positive and rich aspects of her life. For this writer, the death of her husband at a relatively early age (in his 50's), did trigger feelings of sadness that they hadn't become parents. It is a beautiful piece and I wanted to share it with people who read this blog. But with the caveat that this is just one woman's story.
