Why I'm doing this.

I decided to start this blog for two reasons.

1- My therapist said journaling would be beneficial. I figure I'm pretty open and honest about what's going on with me that blogging is the easiest and quickest way to get it out there. It's helpful to have an outlet and allow people to read what's the latest in how I'm doing and how little Miss Em is, then to have to repeat it day after day.

2- I'm hoping that this will help someone else. It breaks my heart to know there are women struggling eveyday with Postpartum Depression. To know the turmoil and heartache it causes them and their families. To know how misunderstood and alone they feel and how desperatly those that love and support them just want to make it go away. If you or someone you love has PPD please know you're not alone and this isn't your fault. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about the struggles our family has faced due to this awful illness.

  1. Letty... so proud of you...what a good outlet this is going to be... I can't even imagine all you and your family has had to go through.... But know that I am proud of you- to make PPD a real issue that a lot of people aren't aware of...

    I'll continue to keep you and your family in my prayers and will keep a look out for new blog entries that you post...

    love and miss you... Kim Ross
