This one bears witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou Are My Reason\u003c\/em\u003e is an illustrated poem for parents navigating the emotional terrain of postpartum depression and perinatal mood disorders - and for everyone who loves them. Written in an intimate first-person voice, it traces the full arc of one parent's experience: the dream of joyful new parenthood, the disorienting arrival of darkness instead, and the hard-won decision to ask for help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this book apart is what it refuses to do. It doesn't minimize. It doesn't rush to reassurance. It sits with the heaviness of loving a baby while feeling nothing - and names that experience without shame, without clinical distance, and without asking the reader to be further along than she is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHector Curriel's paintings - richly textured, emotionally precise - carry the story beyond language. A mother folded over a crib, tissue box in hand. A parent climbing hand over hand out of darkness, baby held close, a circle of light above. These images do what words alone cannot: they make the invisible visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeliberately diverse in its illustrations, the book reflects what research confirms - postpartum mood disorders cross every line of race, culture, and identity. No reader is left outside this story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in clinical expertise and human truth in equal measure, You Are My Reason is a first-contact tool for the space between suffering in silence and saying the words out loud. It closes with current, tiered crisis resources and a message that is both simple and necessary: you are not alone, help is real, and asking for it is an act of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor perinatal mental health providers, hospital systems, birth workers, and anyone who has ever held a baby and wondered why they couldn't feel what they were supposed to feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54089754870067,"sku":"9798234139726","price":38.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SV4QJJdjve9798234139726.webp?v=1789595427","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/you-are-my-reason-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
