An Important Piece
How could I forget??? A portion of the proceeds from the book will be given to PSI (Postpartum Support International). It's another way that I hope will help raise the awareness.
I am a survivor of Postpartum Depression, a photographer, a wife to a great husband, and blessed mother to my daughter. Four months after giving birth to my beautiful baby girl I had a breakdown and it happened as fast as turning on a light switch. I was exhausted and overwhelmed and thought it was natural feelings after having a child. However, I dreaded the moment my daughter would wake up because I had no choice but to start my day and I didn’t even want to get out of bed. That I knew was not normal. Not uncommon but not normal. With the help of my husband, my brother, my friend Michelle, some great Moms I had recently met and wonderful professionals I quickly got on the road to recovery. I had to take one minute at a time. The thought of one day at a time was too daunting. The road to recovery is constant with numerous twists and turns. I am now reaching out to others to hopefully make an impact in their recovery.
