Always look on the bright side of life
It's been a busy few days. The good thing about Jessica and her family is that they are doers. Even when Jessica is depressed, she manages to pull herself out of the bed and makes herself do things and in this case, find help. (More info on PPD
here).
We met with two therapists yesterday, and Jessica got to talk to somebody who we think can help her get throught this thing. We sat there, around that ultra-Finnish round Alvar Aalto-esque table (made out of birch), and the two middle-aged ladies listened. And then they listened. Even when Jessica didn't say anything, they listened to the silence. We all did. I thought the silence was awkward at first, but then it became comforting, in a way. It was as if they gave Jessica all the space in the world to throw her dark thoughts in, and she only managed to fill it a tiny bit. She will get through this and at the other end, you will be meeting a happy Jessica who probably knows herself better than before. A little stonger Jessica with insight to being a woman. And a Jessica that I can make laugh simply by dancing a little bit funny.
Hannes is doing well (he's a chubby little guy), and there are very few things that would make me happier than to pick Hannes up and take him to our bed, and see him wake up with a smile on his face. Right now, I can think of only one thing that would make me feel even happier. See Jessi wake up with a smile on her face.
