40 Nights of Darkness

This work traces my journey through postpartum depression, where motherhood felt less like joy and more like mourning a former self. Instead of elation, I was consumed by fear, insecurity, and a world stripped of hope.

Navigating this darkness became a process of transformation—an emotional rebirth akin to the Phoenix rising from ashes. Through pain and healing, I learned to embrace motherhood not as loss, but as a path toward self-love, resilience, and the profound, unexpected bond with my child.
