You’ve just welcomed your new baby into the world. Becoming a mother has been a whirlwind of complicated emotions. You’re somehow overjoyed and utterly exhausted at the same time. Naturally, you don’t quite feel like “yourself” anymore
Life transitions include any significant shift, like career changes, relationship milestones, relocations, or health challenges. These moments disrupt the familiar patterns that once provided comfort and predictability.
When someone you love dies, the world understands your grief. People send flowers, bring casseroles, and give you space to mourn. But what happens when your loss doesn’t come with a funeral?
It’s one of the most confusing paradoxes of relationships: being physically present with your partner yet feeling profoundly alone. You share a home, maybe even a bed, but somehow you’re emotionally worlds apart.
The arrival of a new baby is often described as one of life’s greatest joys. Yet for many mothers, the postpartum period brings unexpected emotional challenges that feel overwhelming and isolating.
