Prioritising Men's Mental Health
We had rushed to the hospital – my wife and me. It was a routine pregnancy check as she was in her last trimester. I thought nothing of the process until we got hit with the news that the baby had to be delivered that same day due to a serious complication. To make matters worse, I was told that both my wife and the baby were experiencing heart rate issues with a 70% chance I could lose them both unless delivery done through surgery. How do you handle news like this? Fast forward…my wife and the baby survived but complications persisted for her. I went into an entirely new place I had never been before – both mentally, and emotionally.
