Emotional plea from husband of B.C. mom who was found dead
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — The grieving husband of a New Westminster, B.C., woman found dead in waters off Bowen Island last fall has posted a moving tribute to his wife and urges all new moms to seek help if they are struggling with post-partum depression.
Kim Chen posted his comments Tuesday on the Facebook page entitled Remembering Mother Florence Leung.
He writes of the difficulties facing Leung in the weeks after she gave birth, saying moms unable to exclusively breastfeed are not bad mothers and should not feel guilty if they must use formula to feed their babies.
Leung’s family launched a search for the 32-year-old woman in October saying they were worried she was depressed and her body was found three weeks later.
