Join Jody Day, founder of Gateway Women and World Childless Week Ambassador, and the #NomoCrones (nomo=not-mother + crone is not an insult!)
Childlessness can place a huge strain on our friendships, so much so that Jody termed it the #FriendshipApocalypse. Those who become parents may envy us our supposed ‘freedom’ whilst we may envy their experience of parenthood and the socially acceptable status that goes along with it. As their children grow up and we pass through the menopause transition, things may begin to change again; sometimes we ‘get our friends back’ only to lose them again to doting grandparenthood, and the emotional maturity and psychological depth that may come from integrating the loss of parenthood and living life outside the social norms changes us too. But our need for friendship remains and, as we move into ageing without children, takes on new importance.
