Hi everyone.
Please pray for my family member. She had a baby a couple of weeks ago, it is a little boy and he was born premature and 5lbs. He is now very stable, so thank you God.

But my family member is depressed. She doesn’t “want” the child and is saying she wants to study and go to school and that is why her fiance is leaving her.

God is testing her right now, and in these times of trial, my mother is going to go speak to her to try and lift her spirit. We know satan is behind this, because she was very happy about her baby until now.

Please pray for her, her 2 babies, and her fiance. And include my mother so the Holy Spirit may manifest in her words, and for my family member to open her heart.

Thank you, and God Bless.
 
O Blood and Water, that gushed forth from Christ’s Heart as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in you!

First off, I hope she’s getting treated and that people can stay with her. Postpartum depression is real and serious, but in some cases it can be cleared up with simple things, like rest and vitamin shots. (Childbirth takes a lot out of you, obviously, not to mention the hormones suddenly running rampant to make milk instead of support a baby in the womb.) And of course holy water and prayer won’t hurt.

In more serious cases, there are other things that can be done. So make sure she’s telling her doctor about this. If the doctor doesn’t do anything, get a second opinion from somebody who will.

The baby being a preemie in the hospital is at least letting her rest, but it’s probably hindering bonding somewhat. At the moment, though, that’s not the biggest problem. Get her rested up, maybe give her something to do while she’s resting that is nice and comforting.

If the mother can’t face going to see the preemie, somebody else in the family should be. But probably if everybody goes together, the mother will be more able to face things.

Don’t let her be alone much while depressed. Waiting on her hand and foot is probably more helpful! Maybe do her nails up pretty, that kind of thing. Sneak in some good food.
 
Thank you all. Because the preemie was gaining a pound and could now breathe on his own he is now home. She cares for a 1 yr old child, and now a preemie. Her fiance wants to leaver because “he is not ready for a family”, they both want to finish school. She says the dr. Will only fill her up with pills, she is also a registered nurse

Oh dear. Nurses and doctors make the worst patients - they think they know everything and they don’t cooperate with treatments very well. She needs to see her doctor ASAP, or be referred to a mental health facility. But she may not cooperate.

She may need anti-depressants for a short time. If she has never been depressed, a short course of medication may fix the problem so that she never has it again. However, the longer she goes without treatment, the more the brain’s structures can change permanently, so that she is more likely to be subject to depression again. She can look this up on line or talk to any psychiatrist she knows to confirm this. The sooner she gets treatment now, the less likely she is to experience repeat episodes.

She needs help. A newborn and a 1 year old! I hope someone in your family can help her and find her help if her fiance’ leaves. What a sad story it would be if he deserted his 2 children and your family member. Everyone needs to come to her aid, and protect her children. Women have been known to kill their children and themselves out of post-partum depression and psychosis. Please take this seriously.

I will put her into my prayers, especially this evening during Mass.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary mother of God pray for us
sinners now and at the hour of our death
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end Amen
 
Dear Lord,

We lift up Maria’s family member, this young mother, her two babies. We ask that you would make your presence known to her, and that you would overcome this depression and/or any obstacles that are interfering with her ability to feel your love, and to come to terms with her vocation as a mother. May the Holy Spirit help her regain her senses and instincts as a loving mother. May you forge an unbreakable bond between her and her babies. May you bless this family and provide them with any support they might need to survive and prosper. May you also bless Maria’s mother, that her mind would be illuminated. May you form the words that she needs to speak to help reach this young mother, and may these words be impactful and lead to the change in heart and mind that is necessary for her to embrace her solemn and holy obligation of motherhood.

We also ask for the intercession of our Blessed Mother, the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, the first of Mothers in the history of the world!

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen!!

God bless you and your family!!

Holy Spirit, please give Maria’s mother the right words to speak to her family member. Move the heart of Maria’s family member and help her to accept her new child with deep love and affection. Help her to get over her post-partum depression with the power of your love. Amen.
 
I am definitely praying that God bless them and help them overcome any obstacle they come across and know that God is always with them

A quick update. She is doing somewhat better, the babies are okay. Her fiance is leaving her, and moving out soon when she needs him the most. She must work and go to school. Thank You for your prayers.
 
Loving Father please help this young mother to cope with each day and all the requirement of mothering, of school, and of work; and also of her sadness and loss of the support and love of the children’s father.
Please give her the overwhelming love and support that she needs now and in the future.
