Bio
“Dear Noah” is a site created for my son to honour all 26 pounds of him by writing an online letter that I hope he will be able to access (and hopefully not be too embarassed about), long after I am gone.
Struggling through a postpartum breakdown a few months after my sons birth, meant my experience as a mom tended to be defined by doctor’s appointments, medications, and continuouss mantras of “I can survive this next moment”…..now that I am coming out the other side, tapering off medications, and feeling stronger than ever, I want Noah to know that this first nine months have been the most incredible in my life. That the gift of his birth and his presence in my life was worth all of the visits to dark emotional places, anxiety, and questioning of my sanity. That this process has made me a stronger, and I hope, better person….and most importantly a better mom.
Thanks for visiting…being a mom is the hardest job that I have ever had, but it is by far the most incredibly magic journey that one being can have with another human being. I am so thankful for my son. I hope all of those women out there struggling and those who are supporting them find some hope in these words…..there is a way out of the darkness and for me that way was found through the great love of a little boy.
