oh wow. i'm fighting back tears at my desk. such a true and touching story. I've been in that dark valley myself, and know that new life can be so healing. Little E will be amazed when you tell her this story.
Having been a reader here before, during, and after, I am grateful that you are now in a place where you can comfortably share that story. While more women are becoming comfortable talking about postpartum depression, the truth is that dark feeling can be triggered any time during pregnancy and after delivery. What I know for sure is that some woman is going to find herself in that place and think she is alien and alone and she will find your story and know what’s possible, if she is brave enough to let in help.
Thanks for sharing such a real and touching part of your life. Got emotional reading it and I think everyone (especially moms) can relate to it in some way...you are a beautiful mom. :-)
I read your birth story on Design Mom and I just had to drop a note. Your story made me cry. I have also been in that spot, and everytime I look at my baby boys I am so thankful that we all came through it. Thanks for sharing. I am now going to check out your blog. The recipes have already caught me!
I read your story and remember the weeks that you disappeared from your blog and many of us worried and wondered how you were doing. So pleased for you that you got through it all and came out the other side smiling and loving and enjoying your family and your baby girl.
Well done! Thank you for sharing the full spectrum of your experience. I too remember you mentioning rough days on your blog last year. I was so impressed that you so quickly had the wisdom to reach out for help and that there were friends and family to scoop you up. Glad baby girl, you and family are well!
