With a long distant friend, I enjoy changing this obstacle into an opportunity by creating annual ‘frienditions’ to see and do something new and different together.

To talk less and be a better listener is the lifelong quest of a good friend.

There is hope in knowing this about postpartum depression: You are not the only one to experience this confining, crazy making inner chaos within yourself.

Friendship can hurt! And women aren't wired to forget hurt easily, so the loss of a friend can set off a grieving process, just like any other significant loss or change.

The #1 friendship challenge women have is finding time to spend with each other.

Make your friends a priority, so they are not lost to the black hole of a busy, hurried life.

Postpartum depression and anxiety that 11-20% of women experience is not at all the same as the more commonly experienced 'baby blues' 80% of women experience for a few weeks.

When you are angry with a friend, or a friend is angry with you, it's important to remember that there is always hurt underneath anger.

Postpartum depression makes you suddenly feel like a stranger to yourself, but knowing the clinical facts are the first step toward wellness.

Postpartum depression makes a woman feel like she is in the grip of something dreaded and dark, and it's scary. . . but she's likely ashamed to admit it because she can't explain it!
