Pearl, What a terrible tragedy for this mom to lose her baby to SIDS. And how brave of her to be willing to share her pumping experience. Could you sound her out regarding possible scenarios and questions and see if she is still comfortable with the idea of appearing on the panel? In my experience, mothers who have lost babies are somehow not expected to grieve--from stillbirths to SIDS, after a week or so society seems to expect these families to be back to normal (whatever that is) and sweep the whole episode of the baby's death under the rug. (Does this make those around them feel better by not having to deal with the death? I don't get it) This mom may be willing to do this to affirm herself as this baby's mother. I have had mothers who lost their babies call me for months and months afterward b/c I would discuss their baby and their motherhood with them. Rather sad.....
