Victoria Edelman

Victoria Edelman is a stay at home mom to two little girls under two. Natalie is 20 months and Leah is 3 months. She writes about the loss of her mother at a young age and about de-stigmatizing mental health. This is her first article for Mother.ly. She wrote this on her phone as her child was asleep, because that's the life of a new mom.
