Life is coming.

My next short-term fic project - 5000 to 20000 words, you know, short-term - will focus on a post-menopausal woman late in her life. To those reading this space who've gone through that process, is there anything of note I should be aware of or make sure to include? It's not a subject where I can extrapolate from personal experience, and most of the stuff I've yet found is fairly sanitized and clinical. Informative, yes, and also clinical. It's not quite what I'm after in terms of getting a hold on emotional thrust.

I'd like to take a stab at long-term love and the work required for that to work in the day-to-day. Knowing what at least one of the main characters has gone through, having lived all those days, would be a big help.

And now that I've asked the internet: time to see what the library's got.
