Feature Story By: Diamond H.

Two weeks after giving birth to my first child I lost my mother. She was much more than my mother, she was my best friend, my confidant, and the person I talked to every single day. I had a rough pregnancy I literally hated being pregnant but my mothers excitement and encouragement was so cute that I rarely complained about being pregnant to her. My mother came to visit almost every month of my pregnancy, she was here when I went into labor, she held my child, she told us she would see us in two weeks when she was leaving on January 6, 2017 and on January 10, 2017 she passed away. Two weeks after becoming a mom for the first time I lost the only mom I ever knew. Four days after saying “see you later” I found out I would never see her again #ThisIsWhatDepressionLooksLike
