100+ WonderWomen

The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a pall on our community. As Mourning Hope navigates these uncertain times, we believe now, more than ever, it’s important to honor the WonderWomen in our lives.

This year, we are transforming our 100+ WonderWomen event into an opportunity to spread HOPE, encouragement and appreciation – because that’s what WonderWomen do! Over the past several months, we have all experienced what grief expert David Kessler calls a “collective loss.” Loved ones have died, plans have been cancelled, and we have lost our sense of safety and routine. We have all had to adjust to a new reality.

You don’t have to look far to identify a WonderWoman who has demonstrated distinctive character and an ability to pivot during these times: your mom, sister, friend, a coworker, frontline or essential service worker, a doctor or nurse, a teacher, a grocery store employee, any number of women in our city, state, in our nation and even around the world. The 100+ WonderWomen of Mourning Hope campaign wants to honor these women.

Since 1994 Mourning Hope has been coming alongside children and families in their grief. Who has been at your side during this time? Nominate these WonderWomen as a way to show your admiration for their inspiration. Their story can bring HOPE to us all.

For each nomination you are asked to make a $100 tax-deductible donation, which will directly support Mourning Hope’s programs and services available to the bereaved. Nominees’ stories will be featured on Mourning Hope’s social media pages (with permission) to publicly recognize them as extraordinary and to share messages of HOPE with the community. Additionally, each nominated WonderWoman will receive a limited-edition candle created by Wax Buffalo, a local, female-owned small business.

To nominate one or more WonderWomen in your life (or to become a WonderWoman yourself), please complete the form below by Friday, December 11.

For over 25 years, the Mourning Hope Grief Center has companioned grieving children, adults and families after the death of someone significant in their lives. Offering support groups, counseling, education, grief resources and referrals, all at no cost, the Center serves as a safe haven of support, hope, companionship and unconditional acceptance for all bereaved individuals in the community. Thank you for your support!

We hope to be able to host our annual WonderWomen celebration at the Country Club of Lincoln in 2021!
