Long Term Bells Palsy

I was diagnosed in April 2002 with BP 3 days after the birth of my son (it was an emergency c-section and he passed 6 days later - very stressful). The neurologists said my BP was brought on by emotional trauma. Is this even possible? No diagnostic testing was ever offered. Even 6 years later I still hold on to hope that someday my "old" face may reappear in the mirror. I still have some residual effects and some synkenesis. Is recovery (via facial retraining, etc.) just a pipe dream? Will an MRI give me answers - if nerves were not completely severed is there still hope? Just trying to find some answers and what next steps I need to take. Thanks!
