I have learnt to consider the challenges of menopause through the unique perspective of faith

On World Menopause Day, Jayne Manfredi asks, ‘Does scripture tell a different story? Not one which denies the value of hormone therapy or modern medicine, but one which might support women in mind and soul whilst going through this transition?’

Midlife and menopause are having a bit of a moment. The conversation is everywhere, in bestselling books, podcasts, social media, television, and in news articles. What was once known as the silent passage, The Change which women endured in embarrassment and shame, is silent no more. Greater awareness of symptoms and the widespread sharing of information now enables women to support one another and seek help from their G.P. Greater advocacy in women’s healthcare is to be celebrated, because it equips us with choices we might previously not have had access to.
