Asking all of you to pray for my niece Cara and her friend/neighbor Amy - they are both psychotherapists - both have suffered postpartum depression after the birth of their first child - they are using their professional and personal experience to help others - this Sunday evening at 5pm is their first support group meeting. Because it is a small community and “everyone knows everybody” Cara is afraid they won’t have a response. Please pray that those who are in need of their kindness and understanding will feel comfortable enough to come - please pray for the local pediatricians to also be open to and aware of this condition, and be open to referring. I will never forget how heartbreaking it was talking with Cara after she gave birth to Jonah. She couldn’t wait to be a mom, and wham! - she went in to such a deep depression - I called Lehigh Valley Hospital and they were able to put me in touch with someone closer to Cara - but it was still a distance for Cara to travel to get the help she needed. So proud of these girls for what they are doing.
