Grieving for your child is not depression. The Dr office should know that! Most of those questions I would answer the same you did and I am a year into this journey. big ((hugs))<br />Love, ChrissyChrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626666735606164228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-21649973174202220422011-01-27T20:39:23.597-05:002011-01-27T20:39:23.597-05:00Lots of hugs to you Mom <3Lots of hugs to you Mom <3Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834828460830645935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-30824695949686965932011-01-27T19:08:40.894-05:002011-01-27T19:08:40.894-05:00Awww Stacy, I'm so sorry that your day went th...Awww Stacy, I'm so sorry that your day went that way.

It can catch you unaware. When we were kids our next door neighbor died. The father brought the daughter to our house while he went to be with his dying wife. When he returned to tell his daughter that her mom had died we were watching The Wizard of Oz. I will always think of Barbara Donovan whenever I see that movie. When I was driving to your house to bring Rachels casket to the funeral home the song "Upon The Journeys End" was on. That's also one of the songs I listened to during all the long drives for Uncle Dales treatments hospitalizations etc. Once it gave me strength. Now it makes me sad.<br />And of course since Nana died, Mothers Day has always been bitter-sweet. I no longer cry when I see a Mothers Day card, but I always feel the loss. <br />I'm sure if I was asked certain questions at certain times I could be classified as depressed. Personally I think the checklist they use to determine postpartum depression is useless at best and could be pretty destructive all by itself. Obviously if they read your chart instead of relying on a checklist they would not have asked you how old your baby was. But I suppose they fulfilled the requirements of a "postpartum visit". Foolishness.<br />Love, MomRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680639697554471976noreply@blogger.com
