About this listen

This book will be for, and about, her.
This book will be for mums and stepmums and mums with mental illnesses and mums without mums.
This book will be for me.

Everyone told Sinead that having a newborn was a beautiful kind of delirium - a hazy blur of broken sleep and exhaustion, wrapped in euphoria. A life-changing love. Sinead spent every day of her traumatic pregnancy clinging to that sliver of light in the dark.

But when Vivie arrived, there was no euphoria, no life-altering love. And nine days after giving birth, Sinead was admitted to the Mother & Baby Unit at Starship Hospital in the grips of severe postnatal depression.

An honest, gut-wrenching, irreverent, and shockingly funny memoir about motherhood and mental health, with raw, deeply personal insights into Sinead's own journey. It Nearly Killed Me But I Love You is a no-holds-barred exploration of what it means to be a mother - written with humour, wit, and devastating frankness.
