As with all grief and mourning, in perimenopause there is a portal you will eventually pass through to come to another side. We might emerge better than before, re-define ourselves,  and experience life in a renewed and beautiful way. But in the meantime, we have to go through the painful process of saying good-bye to former parts of ourselves. 

A highly sensitive person going through perimenopause will feel each twitch, pain, sensation, and mutation on a profoundly deep level, more so than a neurotypical person. For many HSP’s the depth of this uncomfortable transition can feel like the earth has shifted on its axis and our lives have been thrown into absolute chaos.
