Marie has gone through so many obstacles, yet has come emerged stronger. She has done and continues to do so much good around the world, of course including her 50 years of entertaining us!
I provided this as a gift and the person was very pleased and enjoyed reading the book. I am happy for this product.
I suffered from postpartum depression, so I could definitely relate to Marie's book, "My Journey...." and I read it so fast, just whipped right thru it; easy reading, and down to the point of the problem.
Marie gave a very honest and candid revelation about her nightmare with PPD. She showed step by step how her life changed before her eyes and the nightmare of bringing it back into control.
I dare you not to be moved by this book! Marie Osmond will pluck your heartstrings with this boldly honest overview of her life and the factors contributing to her postpartum depression experience.
This book had some insight into it, her latest book was such a disappointment after this book. It took me 5 years and thousands of dollars to have a baby and after having a beautiful child, I too suffered from post partum depression which I would have never believed could have happened since this child was so wanted and so loved.
I had PPD after the birth of my first daughter. I sought help just months after her birth, and my recovery was complete, but not easy.
I suffered from PPD 17 years ago. It was easily the most frightening thing I've ever experienced.
I thank Marie Osmond for having the courage to write this book. I have been dealing with the shame, the pain, and other emotional obstacles due to PPD for the last 2 years.
Whenever I have seen Marie on television, she always flashed that big bright smile of hers. I am impressed by her candidness in speaking about her struggles with postpartum depression.
My mom gave this to me when I crashed with post-partum depression. It actually cheered me up because I thought, If someone with two nannies, an assistant and a housekeeper can freak out, why then, I don't feel as ridiculous!
This book made me angry and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who was actually suffering from post-partum depression. It was funny, and I think humor is a a good coping mechanism, but I was left with the message that Marie Osmond would have never been able to survive her ordeal if it hadn't been for her nanny, housekeeper, personal physician that traveled with her, etc.
