Thank you for sharing your experience with such candour, Chanel. I’m so sorry that you are suffering in such a way and without answers - the not knowing is so awful and creates its own kind of anxiety. I see you. In the pain and the uncertainty and the grief and the fear. And also in the blessings. I sincerely hope that answers come your way soon. Much love.x

I'm really sorry it's so hard. The uncertainty of not knowing what's going on with your body must be so difficult. Disability is a term we've had to get to know in our family. Limitations are something we all rail against. You're right all these losses are worthy of being named and grieved. Thank you for sharing your struggle.

Chanel, I am so grateful for what you shared here and for the advocacy work you are doing for mental and physical health awareness for moms. It's so vital to our survival and to our sanity. I just want you to know my heart is with you. I understand the struggle, the guilt, the shame.
