After Wife’s Suicide, Dad Is On A Mission To Help Women With Postpartum Disorders | TODAY Originals
After Losing My Daughter to Postpartum Depression, I Decided to Be an Agent of Change My daughter was lost to maternal mental health depression.I wondered how many other women are feeling this way. HealthyWomen Editors. I dread it because my wife — the mother of my 6-year-old daughter — is gone.
Each year, I fight back tears as my daughter lies in my bed asking questions about why her mommy is. Jan. 1, 2001 When David Resnick’s wife, Susan, experienced severe postpartum depression after the birth of their second child, the couple’s world fell apart. “I went into survival mode,” David.
My Daughter’s Postpartum Depression. March 23, 2015 by Kelley Allen. By Shawnee Anderson. As mothers, we always hope to have the answers for our children — to have the ability to make their lives better, to be there when they need.
The lines of loss and grief and postpartum depression are so blurred I could not see them clearly, and I know very few loss moms who can. What I can say is, after my subsequent pregnancy, one that did not involve loss, I felt many of the familiar feelings return. The paralyzing grief was not there but the weight of my feet was just as heavy. I have severe PTSD and depression, and when I went on Zoloft, it was amazing. Suddenly I had the energy to take my daughter to the park or the library.
I didn’t wake up wanting to go back to bed. I also suffered from postpartum anxiety after my son was born in February. How I Gained It: After giving birth to my daughter, I suffered from postpartum depression.To make matters worse, I was laid off from my job the same week I returned from my maternity leave. I felt like I was failing at motherhood and became even more depressed when I could no longer contribute financially to our household.
At the time, I never considered that I had postpartum depression symptoms. I figured I was just angry about my circumstances, and my sadness was linked to my hearing loss, not my new baby. Somehow, I managed to struggle through depression after pregnancy.
Looking back, I clearly needed help and was lucky to make it through without intervention. Perinatal Mental Health Discussion Tool for Parents Experiencing Loss. As many as 1 in 7 moms (1 in 10 dads) experience symptoms of depression and anxiety during the postpartum period. People of every age, income level, race and culture can develop Perinatal Mood Disorders (PMDs) during pregnancy and within the first year after delivery.
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a stealthy condition. I nearly missed it. I was visiting a close friend who had given birth to her first child about a month earlier.
As I cradled her little boy, he let out a tiny perfect baby yawn and my heart melted. “You won’t believe what he just did,” I gushed, as my friend emerged from her bedroom.
List of related literature:
As you cared for your newborn and got used to your new role, you acquired a new layer of identity as a “parent.”
And she can offer emotional support that acknowledges how exhausting it can be to care for a crying baby, encouraging the mother to reach out for help and support from other friends and family members (Level 5).
Postpartum depression is characterized by extreme sadness and anxiety as well as physical exhaustion that can make it difficult for a new mother to care for her newborn child.8

He developed and performed the world's first ovarian transplantation procedures as well as pioneered new ovarian stimulation protocols for embryo and oocyte freezing for breast and endometrial cancer patients.
I really, really hope that the daughter doesn‘t start to blame herself as she gets older. That would be absolutely horrible. What a great and strong dad tho!
Post pardom is hard,im suffuring from it 18 months after birth since we did not get it right away, the imbalance gets worse and everyrhing goes wrong,my mariage fell apart and now going through divorce but ive also faced suicidal toughts for a long time and now ignore them but still hard to get up every morning.
Yes, I remember crying hysterically and pleading my husband/mom that i am not alright. No one listened. Only help… I got a small baby kit after delivering my baby that i did not open until 1 month after. It had so much detailed information about post pregnancy depression.
I went to my husband with that book and said I was not making up stories…. But reaction never changed.
5 years forward…. I don’t trust him anymore. I take care of myself n kids… N take decisions on my own.
So, sad when u re all alone n ppl sit next to u have no idea.. Nor they care.
As a Black woman many of us are not allowed to have these postpartum. Our relationships are nonexistent or in shambles. Having an abortion is the best option for many of us and if you don’t have an abortion you can look forward to minimal support, societal criticism, abuse or abandonment from the men who impregnated us and to have the burden of everything on your back. I was so depressed I was walking around with sandals on my feet in October, crying myself to sleep every night but was up in time to prepare my son for the day and shower him with smiles and love meanwhile I was crumbling in the inside. I couldn’t afford suicide because no one would care for my children and they would end up more broken than I was/am.
Wow reading all these comments of people including myself who suffered with PPD or PPA is surreal. Thinking about all the millions of women who suffer in silence.
As a doula who focuses on postpartum care, this makes me heart sing with joy! This is AMZING! EVERY SINGLE MOTHER needs this kind of support. Thank you, Steven! <3 <3 <3
God bless everyone on here especially Steven/ I experienced this and I’ve always said it’s a demonic spirit. I had bad/dark thoughts(I would never say to my family)of hurting myself and my baby, thank God it did pass

I suffer from ppd 23 years on, I only found out 4 weeks ago, that I have this condition, I had younger children.i had no support from my husband to comfort me. I didn’t think �� it was depression my son passed away on his 2nd week with sudden Meningitis. Since after he died to this day I have had many other traumas passing me
Suicidal thoughts �� occur to me but due to my strong believes… I cannot do this. I can only pray that my creator can give me relief.
On the 3rd night after my babies birth I was crying �� I needed sleep I had the blues, one nurse agrees to nurse him for the night, but when I saw him in the morning, my baby was soaking wet from the back and had not been cared for. I can’t trust even these nurses
Anyway… one thing I know for a fact that my baby is in paradise and god willing I hope to see him, meet him in the guaranteed paradise for all of those babies �� He is waiting for me at the other end…
I wish i had a partner who cared about my PPD. Mine left my side once my PPD started. I just pray everyday I can remain strong for mu daughter. If any of you all could just pray for me. I would really appreciate it
Thank you so much for this video, I am very interested in therapeutic ketamine and it occurred to me that I would like to know the effects on my fertility and if I were pregnant on my unborn child. I appreciate your advice and insight
I had PPD with my first son (1983). I had NO IDEA what was happening to me. My mother called it the “baby blues”. I was NEVER a depressed person. I remember thinking I could never be a good mother and I thought about putting my son in a basket in the river for someone else to find him; thank God it was in Tucson lol… not many running rivers. I cried for my sons first 2 weeks. I felt so inadequate and lonely even though I had everyone around me. I called the doctors office and they said it was the baby blues and its temporary and I’d get over it. When I was pregnant with our second child I read a tiny article about how the loss of the mineral, salt, after delivery, can make our body and brain altered and can cause depression. So, I know this sounds simple, with our second child, after delivery I ate salty things. I did not have one second of PPD.
Why isn’t there a link for the foundation this gentleman started?! Seriously?! I now have ptsd because of the severity of ppd & ppmd. I lived through it, i am surviving with it, but some days are tough beyond what I can describe.
My 18 year old daughter 17 years old at the time of birth of her Son suffers from postpartum depression �� �� but can’t find help here in Canada. Keep doing what your doing
Postpartum depression can extend to a year or more, i started recovering when my son almost a year an half, i know what had beed through, it is unbearable pain and you will always have this thought that you are not good person enough to be a mother
I went through post PP anxiety. It got worse with each kid. It was the worst time of my life. If anyone is suffering right now just know that in time it will go away. I got on meds and got therapy. Now I’m meds free and therapy free and no longer have this. My youngest child is almost 8. It’s hormonal imbalance definitely. I had horrible scary thoughts and I felt I had no control of thinking horrible things. I had to learn that thoughts can’t harm you and have no power. You will not suffer forever I promise. ❤️
Bless him. My postpartum anxiety and depression was so bad that we didn’t know if it was postpartum psychosis or not. I had never been suicidal before but I remember telling my dad I was just ready to go home to Jesus. The misery was constant. I can’t imagine the change this kind of thing would have made.
What an amazing man.. I struggled through post pardon depression after the birth of my son, and there was nothing like this to help myself. It’s very hard for others to see a disease that’s not visible to the naked eye. God bless this man and everything he’s doing to help all the mommas out there but not only the moms the whole family, because it is the whole family that suffers along. ❤️❤️❤️
I had PPD with both of my kids, I was in a constant state of fear, always thinking I was doing everything wrong, I would get so anxious to the point where I would feel physically sick and couldn’t eat. After my babies got to be a few months older I felt better. But that’s not always the case for other mommas. I think going through something as traumatic as child birth, hormone changes, lack of sleep and constant worry over your baby takes a toll on women physically and mentally. I couldn’t have gotten through it without my husband, he was always there for me and it made a world of difference having that support. I pray that anyone going through this gets the help and support they need, I know how miserable it makes you feel and I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer like that.
Your a special man, your daughter seems very happy may you both ne consoled after loosing your wife and her precioys mum..you both will be rewarded for this effort
Hi. This is very heartfelt, postpartum depression is definitely a big thing.But also depression is tremendously big in stay at home moms.We lose our sense of the outside world and everyday seems to be the same or like a groundhogs day. You make a choice to stay and raise your kids while your spouse goes out to provide for home,It is very scary because days turn into years then they turns into decades. This is a wonderful platform for mothers and families to find the support needed. Wonderful caring safe place. Education is huge for communities. Greatful for people like you.
So heartbreaking… I had postpartum anxiety for a year after I had my first daughter. Luckily, I was never suicidal, but I was so afraid to harm my child that I was thinking to ask my husband to lock me in mental health facility. I was afraid to be alone with my daughter. I’m not going in to the details of my impulses, believe me, you don’t want to know. What got me thru is Brook Shields book ” Down came the rain” and couple other books I found. I was afraid to have a second child for a long time. When I finally had my second daughter it was totally different experience.
I really, really hope that the daughter doesn‘t start to blame herself as she gets older. That would be absolutely horrible. What a great and strong dad tho!
