I wanted to let you all know of another book that I really find to be a great resource.  The Mother-to-Mother Postpartum Depression Support Book by Sandra Poulin is a book I recommend to moms frequently. 

The book is designed so well.  It is a collection of stories from women who have experienced almost every range of postpartum mood disorder and the stories are organized into chapters of similar experiences.  Each is kept short and easy to read, and any triggers for intrusive thoughts carefully edited.  I truly appreciated these features.  When struggling to focus, short pieces of information are so important for the hurting woman! 

Its most phenomenal benefit is that it helps any woman reading it to know that they are not alone.  There is such a large community of us with a variety of symptoms and a unique journey, but regardless, we are not alone. 

This book is a secular book, however, they are testimonies from Christian women and valuable wisdom from moms from all walks of life.  As long as the wisdom does not contradict Scripture, then Truth is Truth, yes?  I think this is valuable addition to the library of any mom hurting from a postpartum mood disorder.

This book is indeed what its title says it is.  God bless you, Sandra, for putting this together.  I know it is a blessing and encouragement to women everywhere!  I know it was to me, even after I had recovered.
