Please pray for my wife who is suffering from post partum depression.

Please also pray for me, for the strength to be supportive and understanding.

God bless,
Ut
 
I will pray for you both right now and I’m sorry you are having to deal with this. Make sure to enlist the help of friends and family during this difficult time. I have never experienced this type of depression myself (although I’ve had severe depression off and on my whole life so can sort of understand) but I had a friend who had a very bad case of it and I took care of her newborn for her during the day while her husband was at work as she couldn’t deal with things. Thankfully, it usually passes quickly. Don’t hesitate to get help if needed!

Dear Lord, I pray for this family that you will come to them and give them aid. Please heal his wife from her post partum depression and give them both strength, patience and grace. May they enjoy their new little baby. Please give them joy, peace, and much needed rest!

May our Lord heal your wife and give her strength to endure. May she unite her suffering to our Lord’s on the cross and offer it up co-redemptively. May the Lord give you the words and strength to help your wife. May the Lord give you both deep peace. Amen.

Gentlest of Mothers, our Mother,

Please, in your motherly way, wrap your arms around this wife, suffering from post partum depression. Bring her your peace. Pray for her, O holy Mother of God, that this mother turn to your son in her sadness, and receive consolation, peace, light and joy.

St. Joseph, pray for this husband. You, O great saint, knew what it took to be supportive and understanding, even in the face of so much difficulty. You knew how to trust God! I pray, be the advocate for this man, with our Lord, so that this man imitates you in strength, in patience and in peace.

Good saints, pray for them.

Jesus, hear our prayer! United with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
 
I experienced a severe postpartum depression after the birth of my second child 39 years ago. Back then it was not recognized as a serious illness but I can assure you it can be very serious if it continues. In my case it triggered a chemical imbalance that was only resolved with antidepressant medication. Without it I would most likely have continued to be unable to eat, sleep and take care of my boys. After eight months I was severely underweight and unable to leave my home because of the severe anxiety. My husband took me for help to a person my regular doctor recommended. That was the beginning of getting better. What a relief to know I was not going crazy. Some moms are fortunate to have a short period of sadness and/or hormonal adjustment and quickly recover. Please get her help if this continues. I will pray for you both for a speedy recovery. Try your best to be there for her. It helps.
 
I am praying. It is such a hard diagnosis for women.
if we can’t understand it, how can our husbands? Just love your wife and be there for her. I will be praying for both of you.
Love and prayers

Prayer against Depression:

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
Amen.
