I know it’s been months now and you thought you’d start feeling like yourself again. Your hair is still falling out. Your skin appears to still be blemished. Your body is stretched out of its original shape. Things still don’t feel the same. Your internal organs may not have realized that the previous tenant has been served an eviction notice and they now have room to shift back to their original living space.
But be encouraged.
Remember the journey you traveled to get here. Remember that you conceived, carried and nurtured another being inside of you for months. Remember that you gave birth to an entire human being. And now your body just needs time to replenish all it’s given. Don’t be discouraged, mama. Remember you’re a superhuman: giving endlessly of yourself so that someone else can have.
