    Junior, this is really excellent. The book has a powerful, clear, hopeful arc which describes an archetypal "Hero's Journey" or "descent experience." You have clearly done a lot of work on yourself and I really admire you for it. This book sounds like it will be a real contribution to the fertility literature. I think it will help a lot of people examine themselves more deeply, and open up the potential space for different outcomes being valuable.

    Your synopsis is really well-written and a very effective prospectus and advertisement for the manuscript.

    Ha! I can't imagine how wise and powerful you're going to be when you have had time to integrate the whole antidepressant journey as well! I really look forward to seeing what you end up doing with it all!

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

    Thanks Sheila. I appreciate your kind words. It's funny, I was just thinking yesterday that I didn't find it hard to write the book. I had a journal, and a mass of 'stuff' that I'd written along the way (when I am emotional I write, it's my way of coping) and all I really had to do was put it all together. It's almost like the book wrote itself really. I noticed something else recently too. I'm studying a Grad Cert in Counselling and I'm currently doing Loss and Grief. Well my book kind of shows an overall grief reaction. Not that I didn't realise how much I'd grieved - LOL - but it's a really good example of how grief manifests.

    As for my next book - well.....
