Losing His Wife to Post-Partum Depression with Eric Dyches (episode 46) Dec 29, 2017

Show notes

In honor of Father’s Day, I had Eric Dyches on the show, an extraordinary father who had recently lost his wife Emily to Post-Partum Depression. She had only been gone a few months and he was so brave to speak out, but he knew his message was important. Women need to feel less alone and get the help they need so no other family ends up without their mother. He’s a brave soul and we honor his wife with this episode.
