Mothers

I recently came across the Mormon Women Project that "celebrates women who have made deliberate choices — with the help of the Spirit and personal revelation — to overcome personal trials, magnify motherhood, contribute to communities outside their homes, or be converted to the Gospel". A few of the stories they have posted involve an experience with a disability, including the following:

• A Special Mother for Special Needs by Nancy McNabb who lost a daughter to SIDS and has a son with autism.
• Nothing is Impossible by Dee Dee Shipley who has diabetes and has adopted ten children with disabilities.
• Beyond this Mortal Coil by Lynn Anderson who had two children (now deceased) who were born with epidermolysis bullosa

A discussion list is for LDS moms of special needs children.
