Hence if you want to calc the monthly sum of time series from 15th of last month to 14th of the current month and use last month as the index, an eg is shown below:

import pandas as pd
from datetime import timedelta
import numpy as np

index = pd.date_range('20200101', '20200331', freq='1D')
data = np.random.random(len(index))
a  = pd.Series(index=index, data=data)

ret = a.resample('SM', closed='left', label='left').sum()
ret.index = ret.index - timedelta(days=1)
ret = ret.resample('M').sum()
ret.index = ret.index.strftime('%Y-%m')
