Your words paint a vivid picture of struggle and triumph. The reader has the gift of knowing the triumph because you’re telling the story, bravely and generously so, and so we’re courageous to read along every visceral detail because we know you overcame. It reads like being awake during a surgery - to be embodied and disembodied at once. Among the many beautiful layers, it speaks to what one endured when they’re suffering. To be receiving support and to feel utter fear. It’s a gift that you share so openly and I think many, many people will benefit from this book - whether they’re facing postpartum or any other pain that demands. Thank you for sharing with us.
There is so much more to share. Zushe got best dad trophy from your dear siblings later in the story. If I could I would give him best husband and dad trophy in real gold.
Thank you Chaya. How little I knew of your internal pain and suffering.
I am beyond proud of you. Happy with you, Zushe and all of the children that you have each other healthy happy and safe. Baruch hashem, I am also a bit sad and crying right now remembering the pain of those days. I am glad that we were there, Gitel, Racheli and I together in the rented apartment, Zushe you and the children at your home.
We were a team. Team Chaya. Hashem was on our side.
