Thank you for this, and for contributing to all the words spoken by the many women who I'm listening to. The third last para really moved me because I share, or rather shared, that lament, as your wrote: ''I am heavy in the grief (and dread) that they should require the concept of sacredness to be explained to them.'' The weekend just past has taught me so much about women standing in solidarity, how on Saturday, the day that straddled the referendum and Mother's Day, I felt elevated and confident that there are many who are protective of the sacredness of which you write. On Mother's Day, as my children gave me gifts, I hugged THEM and thanked them for making me a mother.
