Menopause Metamorphosis - Meno (menstruation) pause (stops) is, technically, the last menstrual flow of a woman's life. The years just before and just after the menopause itself are referred to as the climacteric. For most women the climacteric spans from early/mid 40s to late 50s/early 60s, including the premenopausal years, the menopausal climax years, and the post-menopausal years, popularly known as the Change of Life. This Change is a metamorphosis (complete change at a cellular level). This metamorphosis follows, and may even be the matrix for, the three classic stages of initiation: isolation, death, and rebirth/reintegration. Each woman's Change includes these three stages, as well as three phases; each has special needs and offers special challenges. Learn more about the stages of menopause.
