A Butterfly's Journey: Grief After the Loss of a Child - Author Barbara J Hopkinson has been leading bereaved families through the journey of grief for more than 10 years. She is also inspired to teach those who work in hospitals and in funeral homes how to best console and support a bereaved family member after the death of child.In 2003, following her 21-year-old son's sudden death in a motorcycle accident (and the loss of two other children before that), Hopkinson founded The Compassionate Friends of Greater Newburyport, Mass, a local chapter of the international organization created as a support group for bereaved families. Proceeding through her own intense grief journey simultaneously, she began tracking her progress in a journal unexpectedly given to her by her remaining son, Brad. The more grounded she became in her healing journey, the more she knew she had to share what she learned with others on a broader scale. Her unique perspective from losing multiple children and intimately witnessing so many other bereaved families in grief form the basis of her first book, A Butterfly's Journey...Healing Grief After the Loss of a Child.
