I still remember the day I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize myself.
I had just come home from the hospital after having my son.
I was exhausted. My hair was falling out, my face was swollen, and I barely slept.
I stared at myself and started crying.
My husband walked in.
Are you okay?
I said, “I don’t know who that woman is.
He hugged me and said, You’re still you.
I wanted to believe him.
