So many women out there are mothers without any children. Here is how one woman learned to accept her infertility and embrace being a mother in her own way.
Shanti Chelliah had always wanted children, but at age 45 she had an emergency hysterectomy. Surprisingly, this was freeing, as she no longer had the desire and possibility of a child hanging over her. Still, she finds that people like her, who are childless by circumstance and not for lack of yearning, are unseen and unheard.
