After my son was born, I was diagnosed by my family doc with post-partum psychosis. However, before he could get me the help I needed, he suddenly passed away in the middle of the night during one of his hospital shifts. After that, I wasn’t about to divulge my soul to another person. He had known why I was suffering. He had been there.
