Jennifer Lawrence Details ‘Extremely Isolating' Postpartum Experience After 2nd Child
Jennifer Lawrence has garnered an Oscar for Best Actress since landing her breakout part in the 2010 thriller 'Winter's Bone.' But behind the scenes, her role is that of a doting mom, having welcomed her second child with husband Cooke Maroney earlier this year. 'Having children changes everything, it changes your whole life—it's brutal and incredible,' the actress, 34, The psychological drama, directed by Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, premiered at the French film festival on May 17, drawing a six-minute standing ovation. In the film, Lawrence portrays a writer and new mother named Grace, who struggles with her mental health after relocating from New York to a rural Montana farmhouse with her husband, played by actor Robert Pattinson. 'Die, My Love' is an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's Argentinian novella 'Matate, amor.' Originally published in 2012 and made available in English five years later, the book provides an intensely raw exploration of motherhood, plunging readers into the mind of a woman grappling with postpartum depression and psychosis. 'There's not really anything like postpartum—it's extremely isolating,' Lawrence said at the press conference. 'But the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression are isolating, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.' Related Stories 9/16/2024 9/29/2024 The 'Hunger Games' star drew upon her own experiences with postpartum depression for her new role. The actress, whose son, Cy, was born in February 2022, was around five months pregnant with her second child when production began on 'Die, My Love.' 'A part of what [Grace] is going through is the hormonal imbalance that comes with postpartum,' Lawrence said. 'But she's also having an identity crisis. Who am I as a mother? Who am I as a wife? ... And I think she's plagued with this feeling that she's disappearing.' The Cleveland Clinic However, postpartum depression, which is characterized by overwhelming feelings of sadness and loneliness, is a far more severe and prolonged condition, affecting roughly 1 in 7 mothers. If left untreated, it can persist for months or even years after childbirth. Gwendy Gregory, a certified birth and postpartum doula based in Tampa, Florida, told The Epoch Times that the intense emotional challenges women face after giving birth, though incredibly common, are often unspoken. 'After birth, many mothers feel like the world keeps turning while they are standing still. There's a surreal mix of love, exhaustion, vulnerability, and identity shift that can feel alienating,' the All Is Well Doula founder said. The hormonal fluctuations new mothers experience, including drops in estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels, only amplify these feelings. 'Isolation can quickly become overwhelming,' the mother of five said. 'We weren't designed to mother alone. We were meant to be surrounded, supported, and seen.' Columbia University 'It's a tender window where rest, nourishment, and support are essential for healing and bonding,' Gregory said. 'Unfortunately, our culture often celebrates the baby while forgetting the mother. But thriving babies need thriving mothers.' In addition to contending with the baby blues or postpartum depression, mothers can also face a slew of other complications, including difficulties breastfeeding, physical trauma from birth, and even grief over their former self. And like the fictional Grace, real-life mothers may also encounter psychosis, experiencing an altered sense of reality, marked by hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia, among other serious behavioral changes. The rare but serious mental health emergency affects about 1 in 1,000 women and carries an increased risk of suicide and harm to the baby, according to the Cleveland Clinic. 'Postpartum is sacred,' Gregory said. 'It's messy, beautiful, exhausting, and holy all at once. And when we honor it with intention—whether through community care, mental health support, or simply showing up with compassion—we give mothers the space to heal and thrive.' Touching on the joys of motherhood after navigating her own postpartum challenges, Lawrence said her children have given her a newfound outlook on her craft as an actress. 'I didn't know that I could feel so much, and my job has a lot to do with emotion,' she told the media at Cannes. 'They've opened up the world to me. It's almost like feeling like a blister or something, [it's] so sensitive. So they've changed my life obviously for the best, and they've changed me creatively.'

Mikey Madison's Oscar Win Has Reminded People That Jennifer Lawrence Was Waaaay Younger When She Won Best Actress, And Now I Feel Old
Perhaps the biggest shock of Sunday night's Academy Awards was Mikey Madison's Best Actress win for Anora, beating out Demi Moore, whom many expected to take home the award for her performance in The Substance. At 25, Mikey has cemented her spot in the history books as one of the youngest Best Actress winners ever. But, despite her age, Mikey is not the first person born in the 1990s to win the Oscar for Best Actress. In fact, that title was claimed by none other than Jennifer Lawrence more than a decade ago. If you need a reminder, Jennifer scored her first Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone in 2011, and two years later, at 22 years old, she won Best Actress for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook, memorably tripping up the stairs on her way to collect the award. Off the back of the first Hunger Games movie in 2012, was already a global superstar — and her Oscar win took her career to a different stratosphere as she navigated her 20s in the public eye. Between 2013 and 2018, Jennifer released 11 films, starring in the majority. With the blockbusters came major press tours, and with the press tours came intense scrutiny. And before long, she was so popular and visible that audiences began to turn on her — her once-beloved bubbly personality had become 'too much' for people to bear. As a result, stepped back from the public eye around 2019 and, since then, has only starred in three films. Fast forward to today, and Mikey joins Jennifer as the only two people born in the '90s to have won Best Actress. Now, a viral X post about this wild statistic has prompted people to re-examine just how young Jennifer was when she was dominating Hollywood throughout the 2010s. 'Crazy how big Jennifer was running laps around everybody… And still is,' read one post with nearly 100,000 likes. 'She was too young to be mothering and yet there she was.' Someone else replied: 'it was really so crazy. by 25, jen had 4 oscar noms and 1 best actress win under her belt.' Notably, others said that Jennifer actually doesn't get 'enough credit' for the work she was doing and all the scrutiny she was facing at such a young age. 'Can't wait to watch a documentary about Jennifer Lawrence in a couple of decades bc she had the most insane start to her career,' someone else remarked, calling her a 'ridiculously talented woman.' 'jennifer lawrence winning best actress at 22 and then going mega viral at the awards during the peak of the hunger games hype … yeah we'll never see an era like that again,' another person hypothesized. 'one of complete cultural domination. the world was hers.' As someone currently navigating the midst of their 20s, it blows my mind that Jennifer was younger than me at the peak of her fame in the 2010s. As far as we know, she's currently pregnant with her second child with her husband, Cooke Maroney, and it sounds like she's got a lot of exciting projects in the works — including a new film with Robert Pattinson out later this year.
