This is facinating. Do we also consider "Old Love"? I something think about other physical changes that rock a woman's self esteem, self-image, and confidence. What about when a woman looks in the mirror and sees a face that doesn't look like her? I refer to jowls, marionette lines, furrows, crows feet, bags...? People dismiss this like they dismiss hair loss: "It's just a natural part of aging, get over yourself." But, society does not really treat it this lightly. This brisk business done at…
This is facinating. Do we also consider "Old Love"? I something think about other physical changes that rock a woman's self esteem, self-image, and confidence. What about when a woman looks in the mirror and sees a face that doesn't look like her? I refer to jowls, marionette lines, furrows, crows feet, bags...? People dismiss this like they dismiss hair loss: "It's just a natural part of aging, get over yourself." But, society does not really treat it this lightly. This brisk business done at the offices of plastic surgeons injecting Botox, filling lines with Juvederm, and offering nips and tucks is evidence of the scorn we have for aging. Just as we wait for society to view bald women as beautiful, when will society see wrinkly women who look their age as beautiful? Until then, fears abound: Do our partners still think we are attractive? Will we be marginalized by those who look younger? It takes courage to have Alopecia and love yourself. As many women on this site know, to be a single, aging woman with Alopecia makes the whole thing even more interesting. Sometimes, I just say, "Screw it! I'll show you what an old lady can be!" We all need to support each other in battling our beasts in the mirror, eh?

For all that have read "Bald Love" - My husband has not left me - the beginning of my blog was written by a friend of mine who suffers from Alopecia. It is HER husband that left and she asked if I would address the issue in a blog. It really stirred many emotions in me (and others). She is finding her way- and is a beautiful person inside and out. I will pass on your supportive words. She will be most grateful. Sorry for any confusion.

Hi Susan, your post is very perceptive. I think my experience is that my husband was totally supportive yet was unable to validate my feelings. He says now he didn't know how to do that, and I realise it's extremely difficult to listen to a loved ones pain. We've grown a lot, he and I since then. It's so sad that after all you've been through together your husband has made a decision to leave. It's heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us all. I think in everyone's story I…
Hi Susan, your post is very perceptive. I think my experience is that my husband was totally supportive yet was unable to validate my feelings.

It's so sad that after all you've been through together your husband has made a decision to leave. It's heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us all. I think in everyone's story I have identified something of my own situation and yours is no exception. Thank you.

Very articulate, informative and thought-provoking. I'm a freelance writer and I think you should pen essays for magazines or online publications.<br />
<br />
Perhaps I'm fortunate, to have gone through this metamorphisis (like a snake shedding their skin) single. I only have to focus on myself and do not have to worry about how all this is affecting a life-partner.
