There was a similar case locally a couple of months ago, but the mother shot her 4 month old, then herself. I'm still dealing with postpartum depression, but to be in this kind of place must be so dark. What a miracle the baby is still alive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-jumps-out-the-window-wbaby#post-640136 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:12:54 +0000 mrsjazz 640136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Comment sections usually make me lose complete faith in the human race. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-jumps-out-the-window-wbaby#post-640123 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:11:00 +0000 mrs. bird 640123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i read about it last night, so incredibly tragic. my heart hurts for everyone involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-jumps-out-the-window-wbaby#post-640068 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:01:08 +0000 Ash 640068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How sad!

I feel so bad for her &amp; her family. Suicide is just one of those things that really pulls at my heart... she must of felt so helpless. I hope he's able to forgive himself for the fight and realize there was so much more that she was struggling with, especially considering she felt there was something wrong with the baby when doctors said he was fine. UGH! So sad. ='( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-jumps-out-the-window-wbaby#post-639313 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:13:49 +0000 mrsjazz 639313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: Yeah, I read a couple of articles previously but there was no mention of PPD or her fears about her child's health.

This story breaks my heart. The untreated postpartum depression, the fact that she and her husband had a big argument beforehand - just so, so tragic. I can't imagine what her husband is going through, given that they were arguing before her death. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-jumps-out-the-window-wbaby#post-639274 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:04:08 +0000 T-Mom 639274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:-( This is terrible.
