No matter where a mother is in her journey: Just beginning or experienced many times over, she will, at times, feel challenged or overwhelmed. Many mothers try to hold it together and push through obstacles. However, the truth is, it is ok to say the three little words.
I need help.
To the new mama who is suffering with postpartum depression in silence…
Call your doctor and say: I need help.
To the seasoned mama who is feeling overwhelmed with handling the needs of many different children…
Call your mama or a mom friend and say: I need help.
To the working mama who is trying to balance all her responsibilities at home and work, while still being effective…
Tell your partner or family member: I need help.
To the stay at home mama who loves her children with all she has, but needs a moment…
Tell your partner or someone you love: I need help.
To the mama who is feeling isolated or helpless…
Look to a higher power or pray: I need help
Asking for help is not weak, it is strong. We all need a helping hand at some point or another. Saying the three little words feels vulnerable, but can help you and your child through the hardest of times.
