Midlife for most women is one of the most stressful times of life. Many of us have teenagers or preteens who require a lot of our time. We are their cheerleaders, chauffeurs and confidants. At the same time, many of us have aging parents who need our attention. Add in a career and a partner, and there is little time left for self-care. Midlife is also the time when many women start to experience hormonal changes associated with perimenopause.
As an oral board examiner for the American Osteopathic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOBOG) since 2010, I am a passionate advocate for AOBOG certification. I am a member of AOBOG’s Executive Committee and have served as chair of the written exam committee. Currently, I am a practicing OB-GYN hospitalist and midlife health specialist employed by a large hospital system in Pennsylvania with an ACGME-accredited OB-GYN residency (as well as residency programs in many other specialties).
My mother passed away in early December. She had been battling Alzheimer’s disease for several years. Her communication was poor due to the disease. The caregivers in the memory care unit where she was located stated that she had been vomiting the night before her death. The next morning, she was moaning, and they believed she was in pain. An ambulance was called, and she was taken to the local hospital.
