This beautiful illustration was created by Lauren, a former patient of the Mother and Baby Unit at St John’s Hospital. During her journey through postnatal depression, Lauren found strength, hope, and healing with the support of the staff who cared for her and her baby. She drew this artwork as a heartfelt thank-you, capturing the comforting image of a small hand held securely within a larger one. The accompanying words reflect the reassurance she felt during her recovery—reminding her that she was never alone, and that steady, compassionate hands were always there to guide her forward.
