Hello and welcome to all of the cliches about being at the end of your rope. This is it. You have arrived.

Being pregnant or newly postpartum or a person with kids adds another dimension of complexity to what is already an undeniably difficult circumstance. In case you need it, consider this a reminder that there is no wrong way to go through this. We all feel a little bit (or a lot) lost right now, and that’s ok.
