A story in today’s Tribune shares the brave tale of a mom who lost a child late in a pregnancy, and then turned her own feelings of despair into a desire to help others in similar situations. Becky Norris is the mom. In 2004, her daughter DeLanee was stillborn when Norris was 24 weeks pregnant. A year later, she created the boxes for moms – complete with a small cameras, a necklace and a journal – to help them go through the tough hours, days and months that follow their own experiences. If you want to learn more about this organization and Delanee’s Legacy, you can read the story here.
Moms can find help and support when sharing their stories. If you have your own tale about receiving one of these boxes, please take the time to share it here.
Mickey’s looking for a few good moms
September 9th, 2009, 8:50 am by Michelle ReeseA co-worker saw this and passed it along. Apparently there is a Mom’s Panel for Disney. It looks like it involves answering questions weekly and traveling to Disney World for training. I’m quite sure there are a few moms out there - some even in my “village” of friends - who would be very good at this and enjoy the work. There’s no pay, but it’s a chance to give your input. This year they’re looking for women who have a PR or marketing background. I have not read this blog before, but I’m putting it on my radar.
