Erin Cymrot is here talking about the delicate subject of miscarriage. As a fifth grade teacher, Erin spent her mid-30s going through the emotional roller coaster of trying to decide if motherhood was the right path for her. At the age of 37 she experienced a miscarriage, and became part of the 25% of women who have one. Even though it’s so common, many women often go through it alone. Furthermore, society sends the message to them that motherhood is the path we should all be on and it's what will make us a "real" woman, or a "fulfilled" woman. Only recently has it started to become more acceptable to say "I choose not to be a mother." Erin believes that there are a lot of women out there just like her, who live in a grey area of not being sure of the right path for themselves, and that this type of doubt doesn't get talked about often enough. She hopes that by speaking about miscarriage and the desire, or lack of desire, for motherhood, it might help others feel seen and supported in their own journeys.
