I know how terrifying it can be to see your tiny baby in a plastic box instead of at home with you. I remember feeling like I was abandoning her when leaving her in the hospital for the first time. I can relate to having heart palpitations and anxiety when visiting doctors and hospitals, months and years after she was discharged. You might be experiencing a roller-coaster of emotions too — guilt, sadness, intense joy, gratefulness, love, fear — sometimes all in one day. If you find yourself unable to go about your daily activities, it may be time to talk to a counselor. Even if you choose not to start counseling with me, I hope you will find encouragement and support in the resources below. Please know that you are not alone. I would love to walk this journey with you.
