A Message from Sleeping Little Angels LLC
Sometimes, the storm doesn’t pass quietly.
It comes fast and unforgiving—flooding our homes, our hearts, and the fragile sense of safety we worked so hard to build.
For so many families in Texas Hill Country, life changed in an instant. Roads disappeared. Belongings were swept away. And for those who are pregnant or newly postpartum, this level of trauma hits even deeper.
At Sleeping Little Angels, we know that motherhood is already a journey of transformation—emotional, physical, and spiritual. But when layered with the grief and chaos of a natural disaster, it can feel impossible to hold it all together.
And you shouldn’t have to.
The Hidden Storm: PTSD and Postpartum Depression After Disasters
We want you to know something important: you are not weak for struggling.
You are not broken if you’re crying in silence, if your body feels heavy with fear, or if joy feels unreachable right now.
Pregnant and postpartum people are especially vulnerable to mental health struggles after disasters. PTSD, anxiety, and depression do not wait for the emergency to end. They often begin in the quiet afterwards, when the world expects you to “move on,” but your nervous system is still in survival mode.
- Maybe you’re finding it hard to sleep.
- Maybe you’re snapping at the people you love.
- Maybe you’re feeling numb, overwhelmed, or lost in a sea of emotions.
These are not signs of failure. They are human responses to trauma.
You Are Not Alone—And You Deserve Help
At Sleeping Little Angels, we don’t just support parents during the joyful moments—we show up when things get hard.
If you’re reading this and feel seen, please know: you don’t have to do this alone.
Whether you’re navigating postpartum depression, anxiety, or PTSD after the Texas Hill Country flooding (or any other crisis – we see you Tampa moms after last year’s hurricanes), there are real resources and real people who care.
We invite you to reach out—to us, to a counsellor, to a helpline. Asking for help, no matter how small, can be a pivotal moment.
