Recovering from Postpartum Depression and Anxiety and Becoming Young Parents to a Child with Special Needs with Jennifer and Kevin Saunders
For many of us, our early 20s are a time to find ourselves and figure out where we fit in this world. But Jennifer and Kevin Saunders didn’t have that chance. At age 23 years old, Jennifer gave birth to her first son, Isaiah, at 23 weeks - four months preterm. This meant she and her husband, Kevin, Founder of KS4Inspiration, spent the first three years of their son’s life living at the hospital. Literally. Nine years later, Jennifer and Kevin share their journey through overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. They are candid and open about how they made their marriage work despite the demands of raising a child with cerebral palsy and ultimately how they found their noble goals in the midst of all it. Jennifer also shares available resources for parents and loved ones that have helped them raise their special needs child and why going to therapy was the right choice for her and her family.
