A friend of mine (who is expecting twin girls soon) suggested that I join an organization called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep". Not knowing what it was I looked it up: http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/ I discovered that it is a group who organizes photographers to take photos for those who are greiving over the loss of a newborn child in the hospital. I've been looking for a way to give something back to the world so I immediately filled out an application. They recently aired a segment on The Today Show to help get the word out.Here is my debate- is this going to make me so depressed that I can no longer function, or will it be unbelievibly rewarding to be able to donate my services to families going through an emotional event such as this? I can't imagine that I would ever be able to show up and photograph without countless tears streaming from my eyes. But just to be there to help the family in any way that you can would be such an honor. It makes me appreciate the two children I have. Thank God they are relatively healthy. If anything, doing photography for this organization would certainly remind me every day to count my blessings.
