The 7 Stages of Motherhood
Loving Your Life Without Losing Your Mind
Book • 2004
This book offers a candid and heartening look at the changes and challenges mothers face.
Murphy combines her own experiences with comments from other mothers, quotations from psychologists, and media perspectives to explore issues such as balancing work and family, the impact of children on marriage, setting limits, and dealing with frustration and anger.
The book emphasizes that motherhood is about autonomy, independence, and self-actualization as much as it is about connectedness and self-sacrifice.
It provides practical advice and reassurance that despite mistakes and missteps, women can nurture both their children and themselves during the child-raising years.
