Ep 32 Diane Pomerantz - Yearnings for the Stork
Imagine having to give your baby back. This week's episode we hear about a mother having to ride the wave of uncertainty during adoption.
Dr. Diane Pomerantz is a Baltimore area psychologist who has been in practice for the past 39 years working with children and their families. She is a blogger for Psychology Today and has published articles and poetry in Motherwell Magazine, Adoption Today, Story Circle Journal and other literary magazines. Her memoir, Lost in the Reflecting Pool, published by She Writes Press, is her first book and it has won multiple awards including being a winner in the 2019 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2019 Indie Excellence Awards, 2018 NYC Big Book Award, 2018 Foreword Indies Award and the 2017 Reader’s Favorite Award. Diane refers to her memoir as a psychological love story, sometimes tender, sometimes horrifying … it chronicles her marriage to a brilliant and charming psychiatrist, who while charming is also psychologically harmful. This is a memoir of trauma, strength and resilience that above all else demonstrates that there is no escaping pain and disappointment. There are no guarantees. There is only life and no matter what else, one can move forward.
Diane is currently working on a psychological thriller and a children’s book about loss. She is a mom to two grown children – both miracle babies in their own ways.
We’re telling stories.
If it's not 1 Thing, explores the topic of 'mother' from every angle imaginable and some you have not thought of. Each week, we share a new story and have great conversations with the writers, many of whom are in fact not writers by trade. We have excerpts from best selling novels, memoirs, poetry award winners, songwriters, stay at home moms, insurance brokers, teachers, actors, college students and beyond. Some famous. Some not at all. But they all have incredible tales to tell. Story is in our DNA. It's how we make sense of the world around us. We have so much to teach each other. We welcome you to rate and review us.
