Search continues for missing mom with PPD
by Carolyn Robertson posted in Mom Stories
At 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday morning, a 32-year-old woman named Florence Leung got into her car and left her home in a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia. She hasn't been seen or heard from since.
When Florence didn't come back later that day, her husband Kim Chen contacted the police. It's not like his wife to be out of touch, he says, particularly seeing as they have a 2-month-old baby boy at home.
Kim says that his wife is "very caring, very humourous, very lively," but that Florence may be suffering from postpartum depression and anxiety since the birth of their son. Concerned for the new mom's well-being, police immediately issued an appeal to the public to keep an eye out for her. "We all hope she is just catching her breath and having a drive outside," Kim told a local news outlet.
On Wednesday morning, Florence's car was found at a park in downtown Vancouver. Police have only said that foul play is not suspected, but after a search of the area's trails and forest there's still no trace of her.
"It was the toughest day of my life yesterday," her husband says. "And today's even tougher than yesterday because there's still no news."
I don't live very far from Florence Leung, but I've never met her. Beyond what her husband and the police have said, I don't know a single thing about her. What I do know far too much about, though, is postpartum depression. And that's why this story is haunti...
