Regrets about not having children.

I often talk to clients who wonder if they will feel regret about not having children when they are older.

For my book, I interviewed older childfree women and several mentioned that occasionally they do feel a twinge of regret but that on the whole they felt find with their choice not to have children.

I was reminded of this when I read this lovely letter that a child free woman wrote to a child she could have had in a parallel universe.

I think that it's natural to wonder about a path that we didn't take and feel a twinge of sadness about what might have been.
